How to Enter Beginning Balances of a Company


How to enter beginning balances of the company?

While entering the chart of accounts, on that window we click on the Beginning Balance arrow key which is mentioned next to the Account Type. A new window will pop up asking for Select Period from which data relates.
For example I have trial balance as on 1st January 2010. That means the data relates to previous year. So I have to select the period from 12/1/09 through 12/31/2009 as shown in the figure.
After selecting the period a new window will pop up asking for filling the amounts of the accounts known as Beginning Balances of the company.
NOTE: Before entering beginning balances make sure Retained Earning Account is already exist otherwise data will not be saved.
Fill the amounts and press ok.
