Error: Sub ledger does not equal Control account

so, everything is posted as a journal entry and the system should leave history mode but your getting nasty error.

Here is what it means and how you can fix it.

The AR control account # 1200 has a balance of $3879.75.

This balance needs to also reflect in the Sub-Ledger.

Drop done the File menu and select Create.

for each customer created go into the history tab. The tab does not show here because I am no longer in history mode but yours should.

You can enter outstanding invoices or credit notes.

once this is done look at the customer detail report and made sure the sub-ledger total equals the control account 1200 on the balance sheet.

Drop down Report menu – Customer & Sales – Customer Ages.

take a note of the balance in the total Colum.

Now pull up a balance sheet report.

and the two are in balance.

Once you go through this exercise and set up the customer profile and add the invoices and credit notes under history tab than you should be able to advance into 2016.

This must also be done for accounts payable.

Good luck.

Hope this tutorial helped.
