Handling unbalanced accounts
When the sum of the cleared transactions does not equal
the difference between the START BAL and the END BAL
amounts, this means that the account is out of balance and
the account’s transactions have not been correctly
reconciled. The Organizer indicates this has occurred, but it
is up to the user to locate and rectify the cause of the
problem.
If a difference was detected:
A warning message is displayed to informing the user of the
problem, together with the amount of the discrepancy.

Select the desired option and press
ENTER
:
POSTPONE – returns to the account’s index view. All
transactions are displayed. The Balancing operation is
terminated.
RETURN TO BALANCING – returns the user to the
account Index view to recheck the CLEARED transactions.
ADJUST BALANCE – the Organizer asks for confirmation
that an adjustment transaction should be created. The
PAYEE of the account is given as <ADJUSTMENT>, and
the amount necessary to balance the account is shown in
the AMOUNT field.

complete.
