In Balance Reports (G/L Menu)

Normally Simple Accounting automatically posts correct G/L transactions for you when you perform various business functions (invoicing a customer, printing an A/P check, etc.) However, if there is a hardware or other system malfunction, some entries may not be properly posted. This program scans your data files to report two potential problems which could affect your general ledger: Out of Balance and Unposted transactions.

1. The Out Of Balance Report scans your G/L audit trail and lists which (if any) transactions are posted out of balance. If a transaction is out of balance, the Source Module and Source Transaction (Customer Invoice, A/P Bill, Customer Payment, etc) is listed.

Correcting the problem then consists of going to the Source Transaction and pressing the [G/L Post] button to have     Simple Accounting attempt to correct the posting.

2. The Unposted Report scans your Source Transactions (Customer Invoices, A/P Bills, Customer Payments, etc) and reports which transactions should be posted to the G/L but which are not.

Again, correcting the problem then consists of going to the SourceTransaction and pressing the [G/L Post] button in that browse to have Simple Accounting attempt to correct the posting.
