Allday Consulting's Peachtree and QuickBooks Support Boards

Hi everyone. This is my first time on this board.

I'm a church administrator using Peachtree Complete 2005. When balancing the books for 2008, I found a mysterious beginning balance of $32 in one of our expense accounts that is otherwise unused. Not knowing what it was, I just changed the accounting period to Jan2008 and made a journal entry to zero out the account. I then verified the zero balance using a general journal report.

Well now that January 2009 is here, that same account has a $32 beginning balance again! I'd like to fix the underlying problem if possible. I've tried going to the chart of accounts and it shows a running balance of $32 for January. I tried clicking beginning balance for that account, and there seems to be nothing changeable for the current years, although it does show periods in 2007.

Any ideas?? Thanks!

There may be an issue with your data, or a Recurring Transaction which is causing it. For the former, go into the File menu and run Data Verification.

Thanks for the tip on Data Verification. Unfortunately (fortunately?) it found no errors, so it didn't fix that problem. I've tried to find a recurring transaction, and I can't find any.

Any other ideas, anyone? Thanks!

For recurring ones, look under the Memorized Transaction list. Any which recur would be in there. Right click any transactions you find and pick "edit memorized transaction" to see if "Automatically Enter" is listed for any of them.

Aside from those two things, you may want to try calling Peachtree support at http://www.peachtree.com for help

Thanks for your additional help. I think I'm just going to manually check it and reverse it with a journal entry each year. Thanks again...
