What are you finding difficult? Have you read the Guide on the revised starting balance procedures: [Enter starting balances | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/15718)? Have you read the other Guides on starting balances for customers, suppliers, employees, bank and cash accounts, inventory, and assets?

There are pictures in the Guides. I would only send you the same ones. What don’t you understand? Just saying something is difficult does not allow anyone to help you.

Read these Guides:  
[https://www.manager.io/guides/5494](https://www.manager.io/guides/5494)  
[https://www.manager.io/guides/7227](https://www.manager.io/guides/7227)

If you want to know why something shows as negative that you believe is positive, you will need to post screen shots, including the Edit screens of the transactions.
