How to add a Bank beginning balance

Posted on by Community member 10
A bank account beginning balance was not created during the original set up.
How to fix?
 
This is causing a variance between the GL account and Bank account.
 
Thanks.

    Hi, athough there are some limitations, you can first try to reverse the wrong Bank Account Ledger Entries.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
     
    To post the opening balance to the bank I enter a journal that both debits and credits the Bank GL account and creates a Bank Account Ledger Entry.
     
    For example the journal below would both debit and credit the GL Bank Account 
     
     
    This will produce the GL entries below:
     
     
    But will create this Bank Account Ledger Entry to affect the bank balance and that you can reconcile
     
     
     
    Hope this helps
     
    Thanks

    Hi
    You could reverse the operations carried out directly to the account and use it directly with the bank account (using posting groups).
    To avoid future similar problems, you can use the Direct Posting property.
    Best regards
