I am having trouble with a trial balance that does not match, after spending hours looking at this I have found that the amount it is out by is the amount connected with nominal 0060 for company purchase, has anyone come across this before? and does anyone know the best way to correct this?
Is this a real life situation we're talking about here or a study situation? I assume this is a Sage Trial Balance? If a Trial Balance in Sage doesn't balance it strongly suggests data corruption. Have you done a Data check? Does it throw up any errors?
this is a real life situation not training. it is in sage i did read somewhere about this with data corruption and to correct it is change year end date by one month then change back? have you come across this and do you know of a better way around it? i have done check data and no errors or comments arise and there are no errors in the coa. any ideas?
it is the whole of code 0060 which was set up for company purchase, the four items in this nominal total the whole amount that the tb is out by, very strange.
You could send the data to Sage to get it fixed, but it would probably cost an arm and a leg, although over on the Sage forum there is someone who could do it for a fraction of the cost. Strange that data check didn't bring up any errors. The TB shouldn't be affected by the COA so not sure this is the answer. What version of Sage are you using, is it Instant or Line 50? Could you send me a pdf of the TB?
