Final Pre-closing Entries out of Balance

Dalton Roach

Just wondering if anyone out there can help me with an issue I experienced today:


My Trial Balance balances, but my final pre-closing interfund entry is off by $70, so I cannot close the month, because the entry is off by the $70. HELP!

Have you looked at the accounts associated with the interfund entry to see if there are any discrepancies? For our journal entries if they don't balance we have the box checked to automatically create interfund balancing entries and if there ever is a balance in the interfund accounts we find the entry that created the interfund entry and we correct.


We may not be talking about the same issue.

Thanks Angela! I have checked the individual accounts, but have not seen any discrepancies. I remember experiencing this same issue once before and a Blackbaud Rep was quickly able to figure out what the issue was and resolve it in less than minutes. He was able to pull up the accounts on screen and you could see where the discrepancy was, but it was a while ago and I do not remember how he did it, or what he did. I was just happy that it was fixed.

@Angela Tuttle Hi Angela, I copied a journal entry to make the current month's entries (this is in database view). How do I make it recalculate the interfund balancing entries? I put zeroes in those lines since they were numbers from the previous month, but now it won't recalculate according to the current month's entry. Thanks!

@Audrey Lee Audrey, I have found that the best way to deal with the interfund entries when you copy a prior JE, is to just delete the interfund lines altogether. Once you post close and post the entry, FE will automatically calculate the corresponding interfund amounts at that time.

@Dalton Roach awesome, I'll try that next time. I ended up manually calculating the interfund balancing entries this time. Thank you for replying!

@Audrey Lee so sorry I have not logged onto Community for a few weeks. It sounds like you have corrected the entry. I have reversed and posted the original entry. Then copied and correct the original before reposting.
