Balance Sheet and Opening Balance questions

My Balance Sheet only shows the total of the cash and bank accounts. Can you tell me how i can display all the individual accounts as i cannot see a way. And none of the forum searches i have viewed have helped me.

Also the instructions for setting up opening balances in the latest version are not in step with the guides and some of the guides linked are no longer available. The opening balance tab referred to is not visible on the opening balance screen. So it is not possible to add date etc.

Please search the forum, the answer was given multiple times. In essence it is creating for each bank account a control account and then edit the bank account and assign the created control account to it.

Thank you eko I now have a Balance Sheet that I can work with.

I have a bank account and a cash account. For the sake of this discussion I will denote them “Bank” and “Cash”, respectively.

On the main Summary page both display an incorrect balance. “Bank” is the sum of both “Bank” and “Cash”, while “Cash” displays no balance.

Details:

  • “Bank” on the summary page displays 6.156,47 (Dutch number notation)
  • “Cash” displays “-”

When I click on the “Bank” amount, it takes me to a page headed Summary > “Bank”, which has two entries:
“Bank”, with balance 6.101,52
“Cash”, with balance 54,95

It will be noted that the 6.156,47 on the main Summary page is exactly the sum of these two amounts.

If instead on the main Summary page I click on the “Cash” amount (which reads “-”), I see a page headed Summary > “Cash”, which is empty.

If I drill down one deeper and click on the “Bank” balance on the Summary > “Bank” page, I get all the transactions for “Bank” correctly, with end balance 6.101,52, which is as it should be.

If on the Summary > “Bank” page I click on the “Cash” balance, I get all transactions for that account correctly, ending with 54,95.

I believe this to be a bug.

Added: This was on my Mac. I also installed Manager on a (virtual) Windows machine, and the results were different, although still faulty.

The main Summary page now shows the same (incorrect) amount for “Bank”, but a different amount for “Cash”. It is not the current balance, though, but the opening balance of that account.

If I go to Summary > “Bank”, the result is the same as before. Summary > “Cash” gives only the starting balance transaction. If I drill down the result is the same as before.

Hope this helps.
