• You enter the Client Disbursement Recovery G/L control account number (1210) in the G/L Account column for an Expense Recovery transaction. This effectively debits and credits the G/L 1210 account creating a net zero effect on it.
• You allocate a non-Client Cost transaction to the Client Disbursement Recovery G/L control account (1210).
• You enter an incorrect unbilled disbursement for a matter's opening balance.
• You enter an incorrect G/L Opening Balance for the Client Disbursement Recovery G/L control account (1210).
  NOTE: An imbalance cannot occur in the Journal/G/L column of the G/L Reconciliation Report because there is not a non-client journal that tracks Client Disbursement Recovery entries.

Suggested Action:

Take the following preliminary actions before you troubleshoot an imbalance between the Client Ledger and the G/L:

• Rerun the G/L Reconciliation Report and check mark Reread G/L Information to ensure there is still an imbalance on the report.
• Find the first date of the imbalance on the G/L Reconciliation Report.
• Find the last month closed
• Make a back up of PCLaw.

Take the steps in one of the following articles that describe your imbalance:

• The imbalance occurs from the very beginning of your PCLaw^® books and there are no closed months
• The imbalance occurs from the very beginning of your PCLaw^® books and there are months closed
• The imbalance first occurs after the beginning date of your PCLaw^® books
