    Did you run the Potential conflicts – work in process and general ledger?

    In the Production control parameters,  Ledger posting field what option is selected for the level of ledger posting for production processes.?

    Reconciliation boils down to:

    • Analyze the postings to the GL account(s)  to find any postings that don’t belong.

    • Analyze the postings in other GL account(s) to find stray postings that should’ve gone into the account you are reconciling.

    Typically the key filters to use are journal prefix, and Posting types.

    Good Morning Sriram GS,

    To provide you some more detailed help we need more information about the different reports you used for making the reconciliation.

    Can you provide us some screenprints and additional information how the reconciliation was made and the difference identified?

    Ideally in a 'step-by-step' summary so that we can replicate the issue.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Dear Mr. Ludwig,

    We are using AX2012 R3.

    The main issue is the Value of GL vs Sub GL is not matching.

    we could not find the root cause for the issue

    We suspect , error in mapping the transaction with respect to the GL and Sub GL

    Also the difference is accumulating over a period. hence we could not able to fix it

    Could you please suggest some solution to proceed further.

    Regards

    Sriram GS

    RE: Difference in the value - GL vs Report

    Some reports are not necessarily meant to match because they use different logic with regard to dates e.g transaction date vs posting date. Differences can arise in the reports  with closed dates of transactions and the reports may not necessarily match for that reason e.g.

    • Vendor Balance list records the balance as at a date.

    • Vendor Ageing Report looks at what transactions  are OPEN at a date.

    Through open transaction editing (normally) the date principle determines the date the transaction is settled (closed) and  this could be closed at a date prior to your balance date, and be settled against a payment past your balance date.

    Therefore it would be excluded from the Ageing Report, but not the balance list.

    Dynamics AX is date driven system rather than by period buckets,  – when you set the date principle to the date on which you do the open transaction editing settlement (i.e. today's date), generally the results match. It is possible to get currency differences after exchange rate adjustment when the invoice stays open after financial closing and you are running a back dated report.

    There have been some hotfixes for TB in the past- I don't know what version you have.

    Voucher prefix, Transaction type and Posting type, help you identify mis-postings.

    Ensure the 'Do not allow manual entry' checkbox is marked on the ledger account to avoid direct posting to the account. This setting requires that all transactions post through the subledger accounts.

    Reports that can be used for reconciliation are:

    •Bank to ledger reconciliation report

    •Customer to ledger reconciliation report

    •Potential conflicts – work in process and general ledger

    •Inventory value report

    •Potential conflicts – inventory and general ledger

    •Vendor to ledger reconciliation report

    •Sales tax/ledger reconciliation report

    This would help a lot.

    Good Morning Sriram GS,

    Can you let us know what reports you run exactly?

    You just mentioned 'the report' and I wonder what that report was.

    Would be great if you could provide some more details; not only on the report but also on the process how you reconciled the data.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig
