    I am trying to find a way to bring the General Ledger back into balance with the transactions. When reviewing the GLTRANS I see that transactions exist however, on one particular day Lawson doubled the value of the transaction when determining the posted amounts and the ending balances. We are using 7.2.2.4 without support as we are a small operation that doesn't want to cash flow $15m/month. Anyhow, this is confirmed when printing a trial balance and when extracting data from the GLTRANS directly. When using GL90 to review transactions for instance, an account lists 3 transactions that when I use a calculator to total equals $4,500.00 however, the "Posted" amount shows $7,000.00 the difference is exactly one transaction and the ending balance equals the beginning balance plus the $7,000.00 rather than the actual transactions of $4,500.00.

    Does anyone know of a rebalancing program within the Lawson environment that I can run to bring the transactions and balances back in line?

    Thanks,

      Well, after some research I found three programs in the General Ledger to run GL 324/325/326 that take care of the out of balance problem. Now, though, my undistributed retained earnings account that keeps record of the the current period p&l summary is wrong. It's not used when Lawson prepares a Trial Balance using GL291 but when I pull my own balances I generally use it for a Balance Sheet. Does anyone have any help for this? I've run the GL190 program for every period and still it doesn't update the undistributed RE account.

        Again, I researched further by searching for every possible form in Lawson and came across GL330. It perfectly rebuilt my undistributed RE.

        Hope this self help helps others...LOL
