Upload Opening Balances D365

Posted on by 20

Hello,

I am in the process of uploading opening balances prior to Go Live and I have some questions related to upload the balances to D365 FinOps and create a reconciliation.

I was following the blog (+) Migrate Opening Balances From Ax2012 To D365 F&O - Dynamics 365 Finance Forum Community Forum However, it does not resolve to my question.

In the specific case of customers balances. Steps that I followed are 

  1. Upload in GL journal the value from Trial balance to the ledger Account receivables against ledger account 99999. For example 100000
    1. Debit – Ledger account "99999" = 100000
    2. Credit – Ledger account “Account Receivables” with the total value from Trial Balance = 100000
  2. Upload Customer open transactions 
    1. Debit – Ledger account 99999 = 30000
    2. Credit – GL Journal account type "Customer" with the open transactions (Without VAT) to hit the customer balance (Customer posting profile) = 30000
  3. Reallocation journal
    1. Debit – Ledger account “Account Receivables” with the value from Customer open transactions = 30000
    2. Credit – Ledger account "99999" = 30000

After the transactions I run 2 reports

  1. Customer aging report - Which is matching to the customer opening balance = 30000
  2. Customer to ledger reconciliation report - There is a difference of 40000
    1. Customer Balance = 30000
    2. Ledger (Account receivable) = 70000

How do I reconcile the Customer to ledger reconciliation report if I do not have the detail of the closed transactions?

    You should upload balances for TB at the time of the uploading balance, same a the open transactions in AR. If they are paid later, it is not your concern while they are not effecting the balance then. So you have to check balances of AR at the time of the cut off. There is open balances report for AR in AX 2012 as far as I remember for as of date.

    I agree that the Trial balance value should be same as the customer account. However, how do I manage previous months?

    From legacy system I have some values in each of the months (January to May) in account receivables but most of those transactions are already paid at the day of today.

    Therefore, shall I exclude the Account receivable at the legacy system trial balance at the time of uploading the General Journal balances? If I exclude those values the TB won't be balance to 0 in credit and debits

    Hi,

    Closed transactions are irrelevant while they are settled balance is zero. So the thing is about the balance you try to post. If you are trying to post trial balance of the customer account,  the amount value must be the same for customer balance account. If not , You need to investigate why there can be a difference.
