Best approach to identify and exclude incorrect ledger entries during opening balance migration

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 66

I am currently migrating opening balances from our old production company to a new production company for the period 1 January 2026 to 31 July 2026.

During the migration, I found that some Item Ledger Entries and related Value/Ledger Entries were posted with incorrect unit costs. Because these incorrect cost entries were used in subsequent transactions, they have resulted in incorrect G/L balances, including negative amounts in some Chart of Accounts.

The database contains around 30,000 ledger entries, so manually identifying and correcting each affected transaction is not practical.

I would appreciate your advice on the following:

  • Is there a recommended way to identify all ledger entries that were impacted by incorrect item costs?
  • Is it possible to exclude or remove only the incorrect ledger entries before migrating the opening balances to the new production company?
  • What is the best practice for ensuring that only the correct balances are migrated so that the new production company starts with accurate Chart of Accounts balances?
  • Has anyone handled a similar migration where historical cost errors affected the G/L, and if so, what approach did you take?

Any guidance, best practices, or suggested tools/reports would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
