When we give our year end to the accountants we are asked why the trial balance of the general ledger does not agree with the trial balances of the AR and AP modules. They are not out by a lot however I can not figure out what causes the outage. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The figures will not balance because one or both of the following has occured:

• Someone has posted directly to the AR/AP control accounts in Ledger. You can find the transactions posted directly in Ledger by creating a source journal to list the transactions in the control account that did not come from either AR or AP.
• Someone edited the fiscal period or other information in Ledger of a transaction retrieved from the subledger. You can prevent people from making any changes to the retrieved transactions by a setting in the Ledger company profile.

Thanks Andrew I will check that out.
