Join nowI am trying to close out the month of July and printed my General Ledger with the end date of 07.31.20 on 08.21.20 and printed it. I ran another General Ledger on 08.31.20 with the same end date and printed it. As I was comparing the two I am seeing a lot of differences between the two reports.

Any suggestions on why this would happen would be helpful.
Thanks
