Changing accounting periods

[smirl]

I went to change accounting periods and got the message "Would you like to print your invoices or checks before continuing?" The thing is, I don't believe there are any checks or invoices that need to be printed. I can't find any invoices and there aren't any checks in select for payment. How do I figure out why I'm getting this message?

Thanks

Check your balance sheet - it may give you a clue where to search. Possible double entry? Let me know if I helped.

I always thought this was just a reminder. I have ignored it for two years and have had no problems.

That is just a safety check. Before you change your accounting period, go to your Sales/Invoicing program click on open it will show a list of every invoice posted for the month, any unposted invoice will show without and invoice number, they usually fall at the bottom of the list. Do the same thing with your checks by going to the Payment program. If everything has posted, It's ok to change the period, just answer the questions with a no.

I got that message as well. I went to the A/P reports and selected print checks - About 10 voided checks printed and 3 credit memos also printed when I did the same thing for A/R Invoices.

These posting had no effect on my B/S or P&L they were zero balance transactions. (probably why they were not printed before. )
