Hello Forum Members, I can not find ‘Starting Balances’ or ‘opening balances’ tab in my manager Settings (Desktop Edition) . Here is a screenshot: [image] It was Working fine before. I want to know if it is a bug or i have messed up with my settings. Start Date is Set Already Lock date is n…

The method for entering starting balances was updated. In essence, you will find/enter them in their tabs or subledgers, though some will be entered in “Chart of Accounts.” This is the applicable guide; Enter starting balances | Manager

[image] AJD: some reference be made as to how retained earnings brought from another system is set up Good suggestion, @AJD . I initiated a change to the relevant Guide explaining how the starting balance for Retained earnings works.

I can testify that for purposes of entering starting balances the starting balance report is absolutely useless. [image] As a start, it gives you no clue on what you should do. We have to jump around everywhere without any fixed place. If you spend just a little bit too long in one tab you will …

In my opinion, @Ealfardan , you are looking at the Starting Balances report the wrong way. Its purpose is not to provide a place to enter starting balances, but to see in one place what has been entered. If there are any starting balances, everything is clickable. So it can be useful for troubleshoot…

[image] Tut: Most important, there are no longer multiple places to enter transactions of the same type based on whether they are pre- or post-start-date. That is great, and this is a very welcome change, but that shouldn’t mean we can’t have a “lead sheet” for starting balances. I just need s…

[image] Ealfardan: I just need starting balance page which is just a front showing all chart of account entries, their starting balances and linkage to where you can enter the balances. That is the way it used to be. And that is what previously led to multi-level drill-downs and all the jumpi…

I don’t believe anyone can reasonably argue that it’s better to have less control over a process. The point is, the previous method, gave us a centralized control over the process of entering starting balances which is gone with the new method. We had a home page, a lead sheet, a starting place, a …

[image] Ealfardan: You have to visit each and every tab available in manager No, you do not. I cannot figure out why you would say this. You need to visit only the tabs you must already visit to establish accounts and subsidiary ledgers (customers, suppliers, employees, etc.). Thus, setting s…

[image] Tut: Yes, you can. At any stage, you can look at the Summary or the Balance Sheet report Tried that, the balance sheet report doesn’t work. [image] Tut: No, you did not. Nothing in the program told you what needed to be entered. @Tut there’s no point of arguing on my own past …

[image] Ealfardan: the balance sheet report doesn’t work. What do you mean by that? Of course it works. Create a report dated on the start date and you will have all the starting balances you have yet entered reflected on it. That’s all the Starting Balances report is, just a slightly differe…

[image] Tut: What do you mean by that? If you set your starting balance to 1/1/2020 and then want to obtain a comparative balance sheet that never works. If you feed 31/12/2019 in the parameters you get all zeros. If you feed 1/1/2020 you get opening balances + the transactions for the day.…
