When I look at my Trial Balance, it shows a line under the totals for “Prior Income” and appears to be out of balance.
If you have 2008, 2009, & 2010 open in your files, 2008 is considered your current year. You need to keep 2008 open in order to get Prior Year comparison reports for 2008 vs 2009. Because you haven’t closed 2008, your income and expenses for 2008 haven’t rolled into retained earnings yet in the General […]

Here is an explanation of what occurs when you convert to version 7.0.x or higher of MultiLedger: Version 7.0.x […]
