Buy nowWould love some advice on this. I am treasurer of a booster club, and have just taken over the financials for the new fiscal year. Last year the club collected money for something they needed to purchase. However, the item they purchased was slightly less than what they collected. The previous treasurer recorded this as a liability on the account. However, this really isn't a liability, as the amount isn't going to get paid out to anyone. It should have just hit the income and expense accounts respectively. Then it would have been included in our carryover amount.
The amount carried over in to the new fiscal year, and will forever show as a liability unless I transfer it to another account. However, I'm not seeing how I can do that? My only choices on transfer or journal entry are from a customer, vendor, and employee. I don't have an option to transfer from one account to another.
I googled this problem, and saw the steps to reclass, but I don't see that is a choice for me. I'm wondering if the version we have doesn't support that.
Any help you could provide would be great!
