As a Sage 100 consultant, we often get commonly asked questions from our Sage 100 (formerly Sage MAS 90, MAS 200) customers. Today, we will share how to create a one sided journal entry when your Trial Balance is out of balance. Luckily, this shouldn't happen very often. If it does, then maybe there's something else you want to address. As always, if you are unclear about any of these instructions or have concerns on how this will impact your accounting, it is recommended that you contact your Sage 100 consultant. If you don't have access to one, we are here to help. Please see our blog for more helpful Sage 100 tips.
Step 1 - You need to make sure you have security enabled to do a one sided entry. Under Library Master>Main>Roles> Security events the “allow out of balance journal entrys” under General Ledger should be checked.
Step 2 - Go to the Sage 100 ERP General Ledger>Main>General Journal Entry and enter a new Journal Entry. Enter just the one sided account entry you want to do.
Step 3 - Then click Accept, a screen will pop up starting that the Sage 100 ERP Journal Entry is out of balance. Then next you will see that one of the buttons in “ONE”. Click on ONE and print the General Journal and post as usual.
