Sage 100

We have a client on 3.71 that we are trying to upgrade to 2013. In the test run of their upgrade we have run into a situation with 7 GL balance sheet accounts that came over to v2013 with difference balances than in v3.71. The GL Trial Balance is still in balance as the offset went to Retained Earnings for these 7 accounts. In researching these accounts in the v3.71 instance I have found that in historical years (2007-2010) there are differences in the year end ending balance and the following year beginning balance. Has anyone run into this before and know of a fix to correct in 3.71 prior to migration?

I wonder if someone opened a closed year and then just changed the current month back to what it was instead of reclosing the year? I'd try closing those years first.

I also had a client in this situation where they would go into retained earnings on 1/1 and change the balances (they broke down RE by store location. Had to do a JE to fix and told them they couldn't do it that way any longer.

Thanks guys. @Beth, closing the years fixed the issue.
