Journal Entry not balancing on the screen

Under Inquiry >> Financial >> Journal Entry, I have an entry that list the following data.

Sales disc. debit 511.57
A/R debit 511.57
Total -----1023.15--

Sale credit 1023.15


difference 0

How can that be. 511.57 + 511.57 doesn't add up to 1023.15. I'm off by a penny. I found this when running reports in FRx, but it GP it shows a difference of zero dollars.

Any ideas?
 
Which currency are you viewing the entry in (ie in that screen, click on the button beside the printer)? It's possible that the originating amount balanced and when converted to functional, it needed to add another entry to balance the penny).
 
Yes, I am looking at the transaction through the Journal Entry screen. I don't have a button next to the printer. I will double check with Finance, but I think they said it didn't balance in FRx that's how they found it. It looks like it's balanced in GP, because the difference field is equal to zero, but the A/R and the Disc. don't add up to the sales amount.
 
Do you use multicurrency? What version of GP are you running?
 
No we don't us multicurrency. We are running dynamics 6.00g45
 
When I enter a sales invoice for 1023.15, discount it 511.57, my entries are as follows:

Debit 511.57 discount
Debit 511.18 A/R
Credit 1023.15 sales

I'm not sure how the A/R amount can be 511.57, since that amount is system generated. It shouldn't balance to zero in GP either.

How do they amounts appear when you zoom into the sales entry?
 
It could have something to do with the number of decimal places on the accounts when they were imported in. I think there is a techknowledge about that somewhere.
