Balance sheet figures

I have QuickBooks Pro 2016.  On my Balance Sheet for Year end, the Accounts Payable figure is not the same as the ending balance for the same time on the Accounts Payable account ledger.

Balance sheet figures

Let me add some information on why the ending balance in the A/P account in your Balance Sheet is different in the Account ledger, @marlin66.

 

Normally, these two reports should show the same ending balance. If this is not the case on your end, let's check the following aspects:

 

  • Ensure to select the same date on both reports.
  • Review each transaction. It could be that there were added or deleted entries.

 

Then, make the necessary changes or corrections if possible. Once done, run the two statements again to check if they already have the same ending balance. For more insight, please open this link: Understand reports.

 

If the issue persists, update your QuickBooks to the latest release. This keeps your software up-to-date so you always have the latest features and fixes. Then utilize the Verify and Rebuild tools that self-identifies the most commonly known data issues within a company file. 

 

In addition to that, let me share these links to help manage your statements in QuickBooks:

 

 

Keep me posted if you have other questions about different ending balances within two reports in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you again. Stay safe!

Thanks for your help!.  I read another post also and something rang a bell with me....I needed to be showing both reports in the same basis. I had one in cash basis, the other in accrual basis!  Problem solved!
