How do you get rid of historical entries in payables - Payables detail subsidiary ledger does not match balance on Trial balance
Hi Joanne, If the Payables details do not match the trial balance that means that entries have been made against 2100-00 via the general journal entry window - because those are not tied to a specific vendor they do not show on the details report. Try printing off a GL of 2100-00 to investigate the variance.
You can write off old Payables if that is necessary by entering a zero dollar transaction with a PP line to clear the old payables and then an offsetting line EX to back out expenses or EQ to write off against personal drawings or another equity account.
