At times, the Period Posting History table may become damaged, causing an out-of-balance condition on the General Ledger Detail Report or the General Ledger Trial Balance.

Notes:

• Use caution when recalculating account balances. Always make a backup first. If necessary, seek the assistance of a qualified Sage Software business partner or Sage Software Customer Support analyst.
• All users must log out of the company to ensure that no transactions post to General Ledger during the recalculation.
• These procedures overwrite any changes made to account balances in Data File Display and Maintenance (DFDM).

1. Reinitialize The GL_PeriodPostingHistory.m4t
2. Click General Ledger, Utilities, Recalculate Account Balances.
3. Click Proceed.

• Recalculate Account Balances is used to recalculate and realign account balances based on transaction data. It processes every transaction in every account for all fiscal years.
• Use Recalculate Account Balances for all fiscal years and to validate the period beginning balance for all accounts.
