QB Pro 2007

Oct 17, 2010 8:12AM PDT

Using Quick Books Pro 2007. Trying to generate a balance sheet in the reports section, but it keeps showing a large starting income then adding this years to it. QB's is supposed to reset the income and expenses to 0 (for report info) at the beginning of each year and apparently it is not doing this. I have modified the report, but it does not change (to just this year). Can anyone come to my rescue, PLeaaaaasse

I disagree here. I wonder if your classed on QB and accounting covered "closing the year" or "closing the books." Many new to accounting forget or disregard this.

Yes, I am and in the quick books help (and I agree) there are benefits to not "closing the books" and just letting QB reset, that is why I do not "close out". But for some reason QB is not doing this and the funny thing is, it is only bringing forward the past 5 years receipts not the past ten.

Sorry for the typo.

If you say this is happening it it likely to be a bug. It's unusual to see "bringing forward" 10 years. I can safely bet the software has not been tested to handle bringing forward 10 years.

As the app is "closed source" all we can do is report the bug.
