Dear all,

Thank you very much for your response.

So, I will place the opeing balance account code in the balance sheet --> equity drawer.

I have every read sap note about this issue, but I forget its number. Please kindly tell me the note number.

Thanks you

Steve

Hi Steve,

You should use an "Opening Balance" GL account of clearing nature under Equity Drawer and use this account for Opening Balance Transfer.If your all opening balances are uploaded correctly, the opening balance gl account should be cleared automatically.

To use SAP Business One from the start of the fiscal year, enter the balances from the previous year’s closing balance sheet. Enter the opening balances for the balance sheet accounts (assets, liabilities, and equity). The expense and revenue accounts are cleared with the balance sheet when they are created.

Hi,

Better keep this account liability or equity. However it should be 0 at the end of year.
