Record correcting entries:

If necessary, print batch reports, or review the account retrieval hierarchy in the application of origin to determine what these entries are and which accounts they should have posted to. Contact your Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate Consultant or your accountant if you require assistance in determining the correct General Ledger account number.

After you have determined which accounts the entries should have posted to, determine if the correction should be made in the application of origin (where the entry originated from) or if you should record journal entries in General Ledger (Tasks, Record Entries) to reverse the entries from the suspense account and re-enter to the correct account. Use the original accounting date, if possible, so the rollback statements are in balance.

Notes:

• You may need to change the Force Zero Proof setting to No if your entries cross different prefixes ( File, Company Settings, GL Settings, Processing Options). If you change the Force Zero Proof setting to No, always change it back to the original setting after you make your entries.
• You may also need to open posting periods to post entries for prior periods which completely clears the activity in the suspense account. If you do not want to post to the original periods, you can create reversing entries to your suspense account using year-end accounting dates. However, this only corrects the suspense account as of the year-end accounting date you use and does not affect prior activity. Contact your Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate Consultant if you require assistance.
