Re: Rebuild balances

[Gary.Brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We have just had the 'pleasure' of running a balances re-build. We actually
ended fixing up the problems manually.

We found a couple of things to watch out for.

Take the validation reports with a grain of salt, i.e. make sure you understand
the errors the reports say exist.
In our case report GL226 claims that some accounts payable invoice postings are
in error/out of balance when they in fact they are not and report GL085 has a
documented problem and incorrectly reports that the net profit account is out of
balance.

One real problem that we encountered is that we use extension codes on some of
our accounts, e.g. mobile phone numbers for phone expenses. Our GL people had
been vigilant and when a mobile phone was stolen or no longer used the phone
number was removed from the extension codes. When we now run the re-build option
we get a lot of account posting errors because the extension code that is on the
record is no longer valid.
