Balance Sheet question 1

[dmrVA]

WE have our Distributions account and our accumulated adjustments account set as a Balance Sheet type, Paren. Code - Credit, SAF =N, CC=No, Ration =OE. Yet on the balance sheet print out, the accumulated adj. acct has a MINUS beside of it. The Distributions does not. The total calculates correctly. BUT our CEO is adding up the numbers and because a MINUS is not beside the distributions number, he thinks the balance sheet is wrong.

How can I get the MINUS to show by the distributions amount?

Thanks
Donna

When you maintain the COA in Macola ES you will see the list of accounts numbers, descriptions and a whole lot of green check marks (this is before you drill down to a specific account). A green check mark appears in the balance column for each account. In Macola ES, the debit or credit code refers to the true normal balance for the account. You can change this code by double clicking in the appropriate column (D for debit and C for credit).

thanks, we are on Progression Btrieve. But I had already tried changing the code (done a little differently) and it does not make a difference in how it shows.

I would think it would be the statement format, but when I go to GL, Statement Layouts, I do not see anything that would cause one account to show a MINUS by the amount and the other one not to.

Thanks

In system account maintenance, the Paren Control Code controles this. If the change did not affect your Balance Sheet then edit your statement layout and make sure the D/C column is set properly there as well.

Thanks...I had looked at that, but when looking again saw where this account had a range then a pat. I deleted the pat, changed range to ACCT because I only needed one acct and the minus showed up. That took care of it.
