Again, other imbalances against an account number can be caused by journals that have been posted so find out what date the reconcile went out of balance (the last date the reconcile for this account balanced to zero) and run a transaction report for this period to see if you can find the entry.

An imbalance can also be caused by posting an invoice with a nominal date in one month and the invoice date in another - these are not as simple to find as journals.

Batch 0 postings that show in nominal code 0.0.70.98 are a system self correction posting.

The system posts a o batch if it finds a batch posting that does not balance correctly to zero. The purpose of this account is to keep the accounts balanced

To correct a batch 0 posting you do the following:

1. Go into the nominal ledger and select the reports option.

2. Go into Transaction Reports and enter nominal code 0.0.70.98. Also enter a To and From date then select "Report".

3. All the non zero corrections will appear as a batch zero. Keep a note of the dates of the transactions.

4. Reset the report.

5. Run another transaction report (with NO nominal code) and enter the To and From date as the date that batch 0 was posted.

    I.e From Date: 22/02/13 and To Date: 22/02/13

6. Filter the report by batch (Drag the blue box "Batch" to the grey bar are the top of the window).

7. If you now look through this report you should be able to find the batch that does not balance (they will be the only batches that do not balance         to zero).

8. Review the batch that does not balance to zero and post the relevant journals removing the figure from 0.0.70.98.
