How do you get rid of historical entries in payables - Payables detail subsidiary ledger does not match balance on Trial balance

  • ADMIN RESPONSE

    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.
