Are you starting a new data file? Typically when you and one company file in an old program and moved to a new one, it’s done at year end. And then you use your ballot sheet as your opening balance and you enter it as a journal entry. If you’re moving your records over mid year, the best way to do this is to print out your trial balance, which includes your profit and loss figures, and enter that as your opening entry. Remember any of accounts payable and accounts receivable will need to be entered as invoices and bills.
