Split the remaining period in approximately half each time. Each time you check another date, you can narrow down when the problem occurred. If Jan 2021 was in balance, set the date to June 30, 2021. If not, you know it was a newer transaction. If it was out of balance then, you know the transaction that broke is older.

In the General tab, change the Date of Report on the trial balance. If the trial balance is out of balance today (debits and credits two different totals), then you probably have a broken transaction. In the report options, go to top tab Accounts > check Show Hidden Accounts, then click Apply. Then, you can find what went wrong by using the Trial Balance report (Reports > Income and Expense > Trial Balance). It's easy to open a saved report and not realize that you've since created a new account or two totaling $10,000. :)įirst, make sure your balance sheet reports include all accounts, including hidden accounts. Step zero is to backup you GnuCash file before fussing with it. Added an image to go with a comment (can´t add images in comments.)
It didn't make any difference in the Balance Sheet. As an experiment, I tried changing some prices for one security in the price editor. I read a few threads about currency exchange problems and I think GNC handles securities using the currency exchange mechanism, but I clearly don't yet fully understand it all. When I enter a transaction, a new price appears in the price editor for that security. I have lots of securities and transactions to go with them.

I suspect stock trading noise, but I don't know how to go about fixing that problem. So if I do so, it still shows up as an imbalance.Īnd I wonder how it ever got messed up in the first place if every entry has a matching balancing entry. I can only enter a double-entry transaction. Now I thought about just putting a balancing transaction in - oh, I don't know: Equity::Opening Balances? Just to see if I can get rid of it. so I tried to assume that's some Equity account out of whack somewhere, but I ran the check & repair function on all accounts (Actions->Check & Repair->C&R All). That's nice and simplifying, but alas the last line of the report states: Imbalance Amount $10,000.00 (I rounded since the amount isn't important here.) (Since all Expense and Income accounts are zeroed). I closed 2021 and so now I have a balance sheet (eguile) that only contains Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. I don't recall having this problem last year when I closed, but it's possible and I just missed it or forgot to go into detail. I close the books each year so that I can get YTD totals out of expense & income accounts. I've been running this GNC file for over two years now.
