Posted by Syed Qutubuddin on 11 April 2013 12:25 PM

Summary: JE cannot post - PERIOD(S) OUT OF BALANCE 
 
Description: 
User is trying to post the journal, however, it fails with the message period(s) out of balance.This should not be the case because it is fully balanced.a) The Journal Out of Balance amount in top right hand corner shows zero.b) The text Period(s) out of balance shown if user has entered P (Post) in the Action box. 

 

Solution: 

Regarding to message occuring in JE "Period out of balance" -One possible reason is if not all transactions lines are within the same period, so there is period out of balance message warning. 

User can hold the journal and print a journal listing to check if the total Dr and Cr for each period is balanced.

If user can confirm that the total amounts of Debits and Credits is balanced within the period, user can attemp to force the posting. Full admin opermissions are needed for this task. Just before doing the posting, type ZU in the action box; user will get the message "unbalanced journal authorized", then post the journal. The system will allow teh posting despite the "out of balance" message.
