Out of Balance Journal Entry POSTED

  • Out of Balance Journal Entry POSTED

    In January 2025, after just upgrading to GP2018 (18.6.1695) I posted a batch of invoices (processed against the purchase order). Since using a computerized accounting system (many ages ago) I balance the input. I check that invoice numbers, dates and amounts are correct. Then POST.

    This is the first time for me to see a system (any system) actually post an out-of-balance journal entry. I have had such entry post to a suspense account if it did not balance. But never to post out-of-balance.

    Weird so I thought I would share it.

    Interesting, Thomas – Out of curiosity, if you pull this JE from Journal Entry Inquiry, what do you see?

      Exactly as it shows on this printed report. To fix it the GP Administrator had to delete the exactly transactions, and then enter the Journal entry manually.

      It was also strange that this originated as a batch in Payables. But when it posted GP2018 split it into two journal entries, with the larger one missing a part to be out of balance.

      I thought it strange. I have imported a journal entry that I had not balanced in my off-system app. GP2015 always caught me. I have not done this since migrating to GP2018.

      We do not print the various posting reports to paper. But to a file.
