Opening balance of Retained Earnings

Hi All,

 

I am setting up our charity on QuickBooks. I have uploaded the Chart of Accounts including the balance sheet Accounts. I am now uploading the opening balances of the balance sheet accounts via Journal Entry. I understand the contra entries for all the balances go to Opening Balance Equity but what are the double entries required to reflect the brought forward Retained earnings balance? Credit Retained Earnings and debit Opening Balance equity too? 

 

Thanks
