 so let's go back on let's i'm to do that i'm gonna let's say i'm gonna leave here i'm gonna say okay i'm not gonna finish it yet i'm just gonna i'm just gonna leave for now so let's just go over here i'm just gonna close it out it's already saved i'm gonna go back into my accounting and i'm gonna go into where's my other window i'm gonna go into the accounting and then the chart of accounts and if you're in the bookkeeping view by the way it's under or the business view by the way it's under bookkeeping and then the chart of accounts okay and then i'm going to go into my register again so we're going to make changes to the register so we're going to view the register and so if i if i look at the detail in here at the beginning of january i entered that 25 000 what i'd like to do is change that to 30 000 but also enter the 5000 in the form of those two checks so it nets back out to the same 25 000 it's just broken out so i have like an audit trail so i can see what actually happened so i want to be careful doing this but i it should be okay to do because i'm going to enter this to opening balance equity and i'm going to enter two checks that are also going to go to opening balance equity so let me let me enter the i'll enter the checks first so i'll go up top and i'll say new and let's say this is going to be let's call it an expense form it's going to be a decrease i'm going to put it in there as of 12 31 22 now i could enter it as of the date that these checks were actually written by looking at my prior accounting system and see when i wrote it but you can also just maybe it would be best just to enter it there i mean either method there's pros and cons entering it as of 12 31 or the date the check was written because in my mind you could go back to the prior accounting system if you needed to kind of double check that check i just want to know where to go or what the difference is caused from in the current accounting system okay and then we got who the check was written to i'm going to say it's going to be epiphone now that's the person that we buy our equipment from so that i'm going to say prior period check in the memo so you would think that it would have been an increase to and this is for 4000 was it 4000 you would think that it would have been for inventory that we purchased now i'm not going to record the other side to inventory though because i already entered the beginning balances properly for inventory so this is just a reference to tell me that this was an outstanding check from the prior accounting system and so instead of going to the inventory account i'm just going to go to the opening balance equity account the same account that i'm going to net out when i change the opening balance beginning balance in the checking account account too because i'm not trying to change any of the opening balances i already have those correct i'm just trying to break out the details so i can see this was from an actual check in the prior accounting system if i need more detail about that actual check i would go to the prior accounting system now sometimes it might be not going to inventory but an expense account if it were going to an expense account i could just enter it to that expense account and then it would net out to an equity account because it would be entered as of the prior period and roll into equity but still i would still even then rather it net out to opening balance equity because i already figured out all my beginning balances last time i don't want to mess anything else up i just want to break out the checks from the other opening balances so i'm going to put it into the beginning balance equity beginning is not what it's called what do they call it these days did you change the name of the stuff opening balance equity let's do opening balance equity oh now it's trying to do that it's going to be opening balance equity okay so i think that's good i think that's movie b to the end so let's save it and then if i see what happened by going to the tap to the right and then run it and then go into the cash account then i'm going to go down and say so now i've entered this as of the end of 1231 23 1231 22 1231 22 22 run it okay so now we've got this this amount there that's part of part of the cash account let's do it for the other one too and i'm going to go back to the tab to the left and i'm going to do it on the same date 1231 and i'm going to say that this one was for Gibson USA so that's that's who we paid with that check i'm going to say this is a prior period check and i'm going to say it was for $1,000 as we can see here so that's that $1,000 okay and so i'm going to say this is going to also go to the beginning balance beginning opening i swear they changed that back and forth between opening and beginning balance but whatever so we'll put it into there and then save it so there we have it so let's go back to the balance sheet and let's run this let's let's run this for uh could i i wonder if they'll let me go from uh 1201 20 22 1201 22 and then run it month by month there they do that's nice so now i've got my beginning balances at 20,000 and the other side went to the uh opening balance opening balance equity so now i'm off in opening balance equity by the 5,000 and i'm going to change that by just adjusting that beginning balance entry which was which was the 25,000 i'm going to change that to 30,000 so everything should be back in alignment so i'm going to go back into the first tab you could do it in the register here and find that transaction but it might it might just be so there it is or i could just go into this transaction and say okay let's go into here and drill down on it and say the the beginning balance there it is there's the deposit 25,000 let's go into that and let's just make it let's make it 30,000 all right and so now i'm gonna save and close it transactions are editing has been so i'm going to save that it's not reconciled yet i'm going to scroll up all right so now we should be good to go now i can go back into my reconciliation open the hand boogie and see if this makes uh see if this makes sense which i'm hoping it does accounting reconcile closing the hand boogie checking account resume we shall resume us at once so now i've got the 30,000 makes sense and i've got these two to check off so now i'm just going to check these two off and we're back in balance again so now if i check my numbers i've got 30,000 up top times out to the 30,000 here i've got the decreases which are 111829 111829 let me know if i'm getting anything wrong due to seeing numbers back so i got the 14307080 14307085 85 uh yeah and so that ties out to zero and so now everything works out perfectly because i because it ties out the way we would expect it to work and uh and then we we should be good to go and we don't have that strange weirdness now you still could have the strange weirdness where like this beginning balance wasn't showing up here but it was down here as a deposit in that case you wouldn't have the 30,000 here you would just have the deposits increased by 30,000 you could just check it off you'd still be in balance not a big deal just noted out on your bank reconciliation report that that's the case and you're good going forward this is at zero that's where we want it to be
