As a Sage 100 consultant, we often get commonly asked questions from our Sage 100 (formerly Sage MAS 90, MAS 200) customers.  Today, we will share how to create a one sided journal entry when your Trial Balance is out of balance.

As always, if you are unclear about any of these instructions or have concerns on how this will impact your accounting, it is recommended that you contact your Sage 100 consultant.  If you don't have access to one, we are here to help.  Please see our blog for more helpful Sage 100 tips.
