Problem with opening balances in balance sheet accounts in 6.1

Do you have a fiscal year end of June 30? The balances do not come over
at the end of a fiscal year until you close the year. If this is the
case, you can close your fiscal year so that the balance sheet balances
show up in July. You can still post to June and finish up your year end.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Vantage] Problem with opening balances in balance sheet
accounts in 6.1



We have Vantage version 6.1 and we use all the modules with the
exception of quality control and field service. We also use APM.

The problem we have incurred is that our closing balances from June
2006 in our balance sheet accounts have not come through as our
opening balances in July 2006. The opening balances in July appear to
be formed from the last credit entry in the june account. This has
affected approximately 100 accounts.

We have tried getting asistance from our software providers but they
are confused about how this has occured and can only suggest we
manually fix the problem via a journal entry. Our company is large
and this would take a considerable amount of time.

And more importantly what happens when this same problem occurs next
month. If anyone has had something similar occur or if you know why
this may have occured i would appreciate some feed back and
suggestions on rectify the problem.

Regards
Danielle Riding
