Advanced Financial Statements Incorrect

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 403

      We have our Balance Sheet & Profit and Loss setup through Advance Financial, and we are having various issues. On the Balance sheet the Total Current Liabilities is not reflecting the proper total. I did check the layout and all of the accounts are included in the total (R41 thru R54). The odd thing is, that it is $44,296.30 less than the sum, but in being so, the Balance Sheet balances. Further, the figure for the Net Profit is not the same as Net Profit from the 'Net Income/Loss Source' that it is set to. Again, if it were the proper figure, it would not balance - the net profit on the Balance sheet is much higher than the figure on the P&L. I am not sure where it is pulling the data from, or why/how it would come up with an incorrect sum for the liabilities?

      I went though a summary trial balance to see if any accounts were missing, but couldn't come up with anything. I do know our 'Current Checkbook Balance' is way off, and suspect our Cash Account Balance may be as well. We do reconcile monthly without issue. There was a large Adjustment made a few months back to compensate for a Bank account merger, in which the funds were previously not accounted for (accountant had us do Adjusting Journal entries at year end last year but I don't think any of that would account for the funds in question). There were previously P&L accounts set as Balance Sheet accounts, but I believe that was all corrected before 21' was closed. This is all inherited to me after years of likely kicking the can down the road, and I have no background in accounting minus basic bookkeeping, so I am unsure of where to begin.

    Taylor,

    Thank you for your inquiry!

    Most likely you haven't set the YEAR on your report in Quick Financial Setup. Go to Reports>Financial>Quick Financial. Call out the report you are trying to generate and set the YEAR near the bottom of the window and click SAVE button. Generate your report.

    Should you have additional questions, please send in your case with us so we can dig in further. Please see (+) Important changes coming to technical support workflow and how you create a support case - Microsoft Dynamics GP Community 

    Happy to help.

    They were all setup in Advance Financial so I cannot use the Quick Financial Setup. The year is set to Open 2022 in the layout on Advance Financial.

    I would recommend to rebuild the report and see if you get the same totals.  Otherwise, if you have a support plan, it may be best to open a Support case if you need a Support engineer to investigate further from you.

    Hi there! It seems like you're facing some issues with your Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss statements. The Total Current Liabilities on your Balance Sheet doesn't reflect the correct total, but surprisingly, it still balances with a difference of $44,296.30. Additionally, the Net Profit figure on the Balance Sheet differs from the 'Net Income/Loss Source' on the P&L statement, with the Balance Sheet showing a higher amount. To troubleshoot this, you've checked the layout and ensured that all relevant accounts (R41 thru R54) are included in the total. You've also reviewed a summary trial balance but couldn't identify any missing accounts. It's worth noting that your 'Current Checkbook Balance' and 'Cash Account Balance' seem to be off, potentially affecting the overall figures. While there was a large adjustment made for a bank account merger, you believe it wouldn't account for the funds in question. Given your limited accounting background, it's understandable that you're unsure where to start. To resolve these issues, I recommend seeking assistance from an experienced bookkeeping professional. They can help analyze your accounts, identify any misclassifications or errors, and guide you towards a solution.
