Written by Michelle Paparo | Thu, Jun 13, 2013

If you are having trouble identifying what is unsettling your Sage 100 ERP (MAS 90) Trial Balance please find our Sage 100 ERP quick tip below to resolve the issue!

Here is a quick and easy way to determine what the cause of the unbalance is – even if it goes back years:

  1. 1. Go to General Ledger Reports
  2. 2. Choose Source Journal History Reports
  3. 3. Run the Source Journal History Report
  4. 4. Review the listing for any journals that have an asterisks (*) next to them.  This indicates that they are out of balance.
  5. 5. Through General Ledger Detail, go to Source Report for the indicated journal that is out of balance.  Here you can determine which entry caused the out-of-balance and what you need to do to fix it.
  6. 6. Assuming you have appropriate access, you can post a one-sided journal entry to fix the problem, thus balancing the trial balance.
