Reconcile AR Subledger to GL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 40

Hi all,

This is our first month in Business Central - so first time going about this. Our AR Subledger does not match the GL. I found the Reconcile Customer and Vendor Accounts report which outlines the difference but does not provide the details (i.e. which transactions are not matching). Is there any way to get the detailed listing? I think Microsoft Dynamics GP had this functionality (I never used it, but from a quick search it appears so).

    Thanks Inge - this approach worked well and helped me find a couple of manual transactions that needed adjusting.

    To add to Inge's response about manual transactions, you can filter the General Ledger Entries on the field 'system created entry', value of No. This will show you any manual entries to your AR account. Reverse those entries (except for you open balance entry) and then turn 'direct posting' off in the GL Account Card.

    Also, did your GL beginning balance for AR match what you loaded for Customer ledger entries?

    First of all you should check your G/L accounts used in your customer posting groups that they are not allowing direct posting.

    Then you should check the G/L accounts used for A/R for manual transactions that should not be there.

    If there is no transactions standing out i would suggest one of two approaches.

    Either export the G/L Entries for the account to Excel and do the same with the Customer Ledger Entries. Sort them and sum them by posting date and compare them data by date to find the date the differences occur.

    Or run the reconcile report for individual dates or span of dates until you are able to figure out what dates you need to reconcile.

    Personally i prefer the Excel approach.
