12. Locate any entries with a source code other than GB under the Srce column for the General Bank G/L control account (1000).
13. Double-click any entries that have a source code other than GB under the Srce column and change the G/L allocation on them to something other than the General Bank G/L control account.
    NOTE: If you get the This entry is in a closed period and cannot be changed prompt, click OK and take either of the following actions:
• Enter a G/L Adjustment in the amount of the imbalance to reallocate the item from the General Bank G/L control account to the correct G/L account.
• Reopen your months back to the date of the entry and change the G/L allocation on the transaction to something other than the General Bank G/L control account.
14. Locate any items with matching entry numbers under the Entry # column if you still have an imbalance (one item has a debit to the G/L account 1000 and the item with the matching entry number has a credit to the G/L account 1000).
15. Double-click one of the items with matching entry numbers and change the G/L allocation on them to something other than the General Bank G/L control account.
    NOTE: If you get the This entry is in a closed period and cannot be changed prompt, click OK and take one of the following actions:

16. Locate any items with an entry number out of sequential order (indicates the item is back-dated into a closed period) if you still have an imbalance.
17. Take one of the following actions if you find back-dated items:
    
    • Reopen your months back to the date of the entry and re-close your months.
    • Back-date another entry with a negative amount to offset the first back-dated entry.
18. Rerun the G/L Reconciliation Report and check mark Reread G/L Information to ensure there is no longer an imbalance.
