Recalculate Account History

Form ID: (GL509900)

On this form, you can recalculate the account history in the selected ledgers. Balances are recalculated based on the account history records, and are matched to the account balances stored in the database. You can recalculate the balances of ledgers of all types—Actual, Budget, Reporting, and Statistical.

Tip:
We recommend that you run this process only if a system error has occurred and the account balances are incorrect. For details on the account history in a specific ledger, use the GL Edit Detailed (GL610500) report. For the list of transactions of a particular account, use the Account Details (GL404000) form.
