    data integrity out

     Data integrity is out A/P showing difference of 736.00 When I view Balance sheet the Bank is showing 736.00 short as compared to GL . Balance sheet A/P are also showing discrepancy to A/P aged details of 736.00. I am a Y/E and have been instructed to manually adjust my Bal sheet in order to move forward. This does not solve problem and I would like some assistance. What would be the correct steps to rectify this situation even if I have to invent the entry (due to small number we are not concerned on overall picture) Please help and Thanks

    Hi there:  Do you have any idea how the discrepancy came about?   It sounds like you may have gone back into a payment that was done when recording a vendor's invoice with the Paid By choice of Cash or Cheque (instead of Pay Later) and reversed it.  If this is what you did, then the entry that resulted would have debited the Bank by 736.00 and credited Accounts Payable by 736.00 without it actually going through a particular vendor's account in the Account Payable module. 

    If this is what happened I'm not sure how you "fix" it.  There was a long discussion of this exact same thing on a previous post on the forum just a week or so ago.  I can't remember how the discussion ended up.  Maybe you could scroll back over the past while and see if you can find it.    I know this hasn't been very helpful, but I just wondered if the scenario I describe in the first paragraph might have been how the error came about.   I went up to the Your Voice tab and suggested that this option that actually bypasses entering the vendor invoice into A/P yet allows a reversal of the payment to go back into A/P not be allowed in future.  Anyway, sorry that I can't be more helpful.    Rita Deering
