  1. 01

    Open Opening Balances

    Go to Move from Old Software -> Opening Balances.

  2. 02

    Enter account balances

    Choose each account and enter the opening debit or credit amount as at the cutover date.

  3. 03

    Enter detailed AR/AP and inventory

    Use the dedicated customer, supplier and inventory opening workflows so detailed balances remain reconcilable to the general ledger.

  4. 04

    Check the difference

    Total debits must equal total credits. Investigate any difference instead of posting an unexplained balancing amount.

  5. 05

    Run reports

    Review Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, customer ageing, supplier ageing, bank/cash balances and Inventory Valuation.

  6. 06

    Approve the opening position

    Keep the source schedules with the implementation evidence and do not continue live processing until material differences are resolved.
