Reviewed 9 October 2026
WHERE TO GO
Reports → General Ledger
Step by step
Set the period and account filter where available.
Review dates, descriptions, references and debit/credit entries.
Find the original invoice, payment, claim or journal using its reference.
Include reversal rows when comparing the movement total.
Correct the original source workflow if needed, then refresh the report.
What to check
- Each investigated movement can be traced to its source and any reversal.
Things to know
- A reversal keeps the original row in history and adds an offsetting entry.
- Do not add another journal simply because an original row is still visible after reversal.
