Good Morning All,

I've taken over in our Inventory Department. To be honest with you all, I don't have much experience in Accounting... The accounting department came to me stating that every month (for the past 2 years, longer than I've even been here) their Inventory Balance Sheet and the Historical Trial Balance Report for our inventory *DO NOT* match. I've been told that they should match!

So I have little understanding of Accounting and I have to figure out what I can do, as an inventory keeper, to correct these numbers... Please help :(

For example:

Inventory Balance sheet: $402,187.91

Inventory Historical Trial Balance Report: $405,952.55

Here is a document that may provide some insight into situations that are at issue:

Since you see unmatched documents, you'll want to research them.

This helps me a TON!!!

I have the report exported to excel. Do you know any possible reasons why an inventory transaction would be unmatched?

Go to Tools | Routines | Financial | Reconcile to GL. Set the Module to Inventory, enter your Inventory Account under the Accounts. Place the dates you are trying to reconcile and an address for the Output file. Press Process. This will create an Excel spreadsheet that will show you all unmatched and match journal entries. From there you need to investigate the unmatched journal entries to determine why there is a difference.
