Accounts Payable Aging and GL not balancing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hello, 

For the last while our AP subledger GL account and aging have not balanced. 

There seems to be missing amount from the aging causing it to be out of balance.  I have looked at all possible options.. ran GL reports, confirmed there was no manual entry, etc.

What other causes would there be to have an amount not in aging?

    This happened to me, I went back to the prior month balance, it was in balance. Then we check the check register; match each item against the GL, this was the problem. Two of the check ere not going over to the GL this was a glitch in the system.

    You need to figure our first is your AP subledger vendor balances not matching the GL account OR is the AP subledger open balances not matching the aging.

    Hi RB2887,

    It is about the aging report only? Or do you have a difference in balances between the vendor transactions and the GL account?

    If it is about the aging, then check if there is a settlement done with a wrong date. It might be the case that someone did create a settlement incorrect. E.g. invoice posted in October; Payment in November. If the settlement date was set to October, then there could be indeed a difference on the aging report.

    Hello,

    Does the GL ledger balance with the Vendor balance list report?

    I would suggest to run the reports in small intervals and identify when the discrepancy started.

    Once we have a date range we can review the Posted transactions on those dates.

    Thanks, Kaushik

    Hi RB2887,

    Can you please make sure you are selecting correct dates while generating these reports (Vendor Aging/Vendor balance list/Vendor to ledger reconciliation report) that could be one of the reason of mismatch.

    In addition to that, please check the following:

    1. Can you check "Vendor to ledger reconciliation report from GL module" Is it showing difference between GL and AP module?

    2. Please also compare your vendor aging report with vendor balance list to check if both are matching or not?

    3. Did Aging Report ever match with your General Ledger account? For example, If they matched last month that means beginning balances cannot be the cause of this issue.

    4. Can you recheck to print the Voucher transaction report for AP account and verify where each transaction originated, you might find some mismatched transactions.
