Beginning balances

[Holly]

I have used Dos FOREVER but as of Jan 1, 2002 starting to use 2002 Peachtree Complete Accounting (batch postings). I need to enter BB at 12-31-01 but do not have every thing ready to do that, but I need to move forward with Jan. 2002 payroll & A/P or I will really be in a bind later. I have put in BB for A/R for 12-31-01 and I have made 1 payroll in Jan 2002. The system period presently says 12-1-01 to 12-31-01, I need to go back into Jan 2002 period but it says I have to post before doing so. So, have I screwed this whole thing up already. Can I move forward without entering the BB - I am ready to enter all BB for A/R & A/P but not the General Ledger accounts. If I am working in Jan can I still go back or what should I do. Thank you for any help.

If you using batch posting. You have to post all the transaction before you change any period.

Since your BB is still not yet ready. My suggestion is just post in the balance B/f from your Dos version and change in the figure (if any) in the later stage, either by audit adjustment or journal entries. This should solve your problem.

NOTE: Try to use real-time posting to avoid any error.
