Join nowOur chart of accounts list shows balance totals that combine 2018 and 2019. An account QuickReport will give the correct current year total, however. What's up with the COA list and how do I get it to display the current year balances?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The balances showing in your Chart of Accounts are the most recent ones, peterkf.
Each of the accounts in this chart are consist off all transactions from the moment they were created. if you'd like to only have the transactions for the current year, you can run the general ledger instead. Below are the steps to do this:
This is the master set of accounts that summarize all transactions occurring within an entity.

Thank you for the reply!
It does seem like an odd approach since there's no real accounting use for such totals as are shown on the COA list, but presumably it simply reflects what is in the databank from which filtered reports are drawn. At any rate, we now know what's going on, and that's a good thing.
