    Hello Sallyann T,

    Have you tried with the Closing period adjustment form available in GL module?

    General ledger > Period close > Closing period adjustments.

    Here you can transfer the balance from one main account to another main account for which system will record transactions in both accounts once this adjustment process is completed.

    Kindly check and provide your feedback.

    Best regards,
    Sourav Dam

    Hello Sallyann T,

    This is typically done in a closing sheet for a specific/additional closing period.

    Once you have closed all your 'normal' accounting periods (1-12) auditors often request special adjustments that you can post in a special closing period no 13/14/15/etc.

    Unfortunately, ordinary GL journals cannot be used for that purpose but the closing sheet can do that.

    Try using this sheet but test it carefully because entering data there is a bit different from what you might be used to from GL journals.

    That is, debits are recorded as positive numbers while credits are recorded as negative numbers. 

    Just give it a try in a demo/test environment if you have not used it before. 

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
