Overview
Upload, review, and confirm opening balances with tracked journal links.
Before you begin
Use authorized accounting-manager/admin access and the importer’s current template. Agree accounts, subsidiary, currency, opening date, and retained-earnings treatment with finance.
Main task
- Open Opening Balance Import and download the template.
- Populate the supported sheets with fictional/test values first to confirm format; use approved opening data for the actual import.
- Upload, select the sheet, and review parsed rows and validation results.
- Confirm the reviewed import and inspect generated JV links.
- Review lock, reset, or undo actions only for a deliberate correction of the same import.
Check the result
Confirmed balances retain import and journal lineage. P&L opening/retained-earnings handling uses the current close configuration rather than guessed account offsets.
If something goes wrong
Use the error report for invalid accounts, values, or dates. Check existing generated journals before retrying a confirmation to avoid duplicating openings.
