Document and Enter Trial Balance screen don't match
In some cases, a Workpapers CS document with formulas may display amounts that don't match the amounts on the
Enter Trial Balance
screen. Use the information below to determine why this is happening and how to resolve it.
note
The amounts on the Trial Balance grid are relative to the current posting period of the client, but the amounts from the formulas on the Workpapers CS documents are relative to the period ending date on the Engagement Binder.
If the numbers on the Enter Trial Balance screen are correct
Typically, the amounts in a Custom Excel document will display prior year numbers in the current year column in this scenario.
Select
Setup
, then
Engagement Binders
or right-click on the Engagement Binder on the Workpapers Dashboard and choose
Properties
.
Check that the
Period ending date
is the correct date and matches the Current Posting Period of the client.
If the numbers on the Workpapers CS document are correct
Typically, the current posting period for the client in the main part of the application is in a different year than the document in the Engagement Binder.
In the main part of Workpapers CS, look at the Current Posting Period in the lower left corner of your screen.
