What is the Best Practice to "Back Out"/ Reduce the GL Summary for the Amount of Open AP and AR?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:31PM in Ask A Guru 4 comments

Hi Gurus!

Data migration question please on the best practice.

When we load an opening balance + net changes for periods all the way until go live, this creates GL balances as of go live date. Then we load detail. Then we back out the detail amount from GL summary.

Do you have an example that would lay out the mechanics of this? It is a bit confusing.

Monthly net change debits expense accounts and credits AP for each period of change until go-live and does so for each period.

Open AP, for each period, debits expense accounts and credits AP account (and tags a vendor).

Howdy, Stranger!
