One- sided adjustment

Is there a way to make a one-sided entry. I had a year end adjustment that was posted directly into the GL to the accounts receivable control account. I cleared the A/R sub account by making an adjustment to the GL clearing account but now need to make a one-sided adjustment in the GL to clear out this one account

No. It's impossible that you would ever have to do that in Adagio.

Does the trial balance balance? If it does, then why would you want to throw it out of balance? And if it doesn't, then your data is corrupt and you will likely need to restore from a backup.

Yes, my trial balance does balance. My A/R sub ledger does not balance to the control account since the year end adjustment was posted directly to the GL account without going through any of the sub accounts. In order to balance my A/R sub ledger, I can make an adjustment but then that will throw off my GL. I just need to clear out the A/R sub account. Any ideas?

It sounds like all you should do is reverse the clearing account entry made by the AR subledger adjustment. If the year end entry already posted to AR control, you could have just made the Subledger adjustment and deleted the AR retrieved entry when it got to GL. In this case, since you posted it, just reverse it or unpost it and delete it.

HI Cindy,

As long as the "Allow posting to control account" option is selected under the "Integration" tab in the company profile

you should be able to do the adjustment coded to the control account and then post in AR, retrieve and post in GL. The GL entry will simply be a debit and credit entry to the control account so the GL balance will not change, but the AR sub ledger will.
