  4. Click on the Create new opening balance button in the bottom left. Enter the opening balance in the Bank balance field, from the bank statement as of 31.12 previous year. Opening balance from general ledger for the corresponding GL account will show in the GL account balance field. Be aware that opening balance in the bank balance could differ from the opening balance in the general ledger, if transactions are registered one year in the bank and is posted to general ledger in another year.

  5. If the BANK is in foreign currency, the opening balance must be entered in that same currency (not in the local currency).

  6. Click the Create button. A record for the new opening balance is now created.
