Resolution
  1. Go to SetupSettingsPayrollLinked Accounts, Incomes, Advance & Loans. Verify the linked accounts are selected accurately.
  2. If the file is in History mode:
    • Take note of the difference between the account ledger and the sub-ledger
    • Select the Chart of Accounts window, open the account in question
    • Select the Account tab, locate the Opening Balance field
    • Modify the Opening Balance to reflect the adjusted amount you noted in the beginning of step 2
    • Select Save and Close
    • Select Maintenance, then Check Data Integrity
    • It should now be equal for the line that you just fixed
    • Repeat if you have other lines for the affected account in question
  3. If not in History mode:
    • Go to ReportsJournal Entries / Transaction DetailsGeneral
    • Look for the Advances & Loans linked account number in the reports
      • you may need to search previous fiscal years
    • If you find the linked account, this is the journal entry that caused your integrity issue and should be reversed and posted into the Paycheques module rather than the General Journal
    • Determine if the Advances & Loans Receivable Balance (L) is more accurate than the Advances and Loans Paid side (R)
    • Seek advice of an accountant before reversing or posting adjusting transactions
    • Transactions can only be reversed if it is found in the Current Fiscal Year or Previous Fiscal Year
  4. If the data inconsistency is recent, restore a backup
    • Restore an older backup before when the transaction was posted that caused the inconsistency
    • Re-enter all missing transactions and use this version of the file as the current version
