- When producing Management Accounts should I generate Opening Balances from one period to the next?
- Resolution
- Working Papers
When posting Management Accounts from Working Papers, Opening Balances only need to be generated in the first Management period and not in the second and subsequent Management periods as only movements will be posted.- Trial Balance
When Management accounts are prepared from a Trial Balance, Opening Balances do not need to be run in the first Management period but ‘reverse opening balances’ must be generated at the start of each subsequent period. To do this, enter the Management posting entry Posting | Select. Within the posting entry select Batch Control | New Enter ‘Document Type’ as 1 (Opening Balances) and select Yes. IRIS will reverse the Opening Balances accordingly. Refer to the Management Accounts Tutorial for more information via Help | Tutorials.
