Hi Lulu,
Did you run the Consolidate Posted Transactions function in Ledger? This is a way that transactions would get consolidated. Or are your accounts set to post to consoliated or detail? Or do you consolidate your sub-ledger transactions before retrieving them into Ledger? My guess is that your 2007 amounts were consolidated to fiscal period in some manner above.
If you had Adagio Ledger 9.0 active when you did your year end from 2007 to 2008, there is no need to retrieve 2007 into your data as it is already there. The Retrieve Prior Year Data function is meant to bring in fiscal years that you don't have (2006, 2005, etc).
If you closed your year 2007 using the older Adagio Ledger 8.1A, then indeed you would have to Retrieve Prior Year Data to get 2007 in (after installing Ledger 90A). But I don't believe that this is your situation.
It would be valuable to have the most recent service pack for Adagio Ledger 9.0, though not having it should not prevent you from doing important things. There is one more coming soon, for a few Financial reporter changes and a couple of other fixes.
