Reckon Accounts Desktop: The Transaction is not in balance error in General Journals

Legacy KB ID: 103

Question

When I try to save my general journal I am getting the following error message:

The Transaction is not in balance. Please make sure the total amount in the debit column equals the total amount in the credit column.

How do I resolve this issue?

Answer

All General Journal entries must balance. You need to ensure that all debits are balanced with credits of equal amounts, and vice versa.

Go to the next line of the journal. It will fill in the remaining credit/debit amount that needs to be added to balance the journal.

You will need to assign this amount to an account.

This amount appears because the journal was not in balance.
