Ddblack: I am/was having same issue. Sjrcpa’s suggestion helps… but your problem may be same as what I encountered. I didn’t “override” ending total retained earnings on the Balance Sheet input page (screen 29) either… BUT, for some reason, the program had entered the previous year’s total retained earnings in the “Ending” column (essentially “overriding” it without telling me it was being “overridden”). I don’t know why this happened… but I simply deleted the amount from the “ending” box, leaving it blank, and now Sched L shows the correct “ending” retained earnings. HOWEVER, this still doesn’t answer why the program entered its own value in the “overriding” box on the Balance Input screen. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would certainly be helpful. Maybe changing an allocation in the Trial Balance when importing??? Having to check for and enter “overriding” puts me back at doing it the old-fashioned way with pencil and calculator IF I can’t set up the program to import the data correctly… Don’t know if this has helped with your issue ddblack, but thank you for raising this issue. I certainly welcome any additional suggestions as a low-level lacerter looking to understand how to de-bug my set-up, so I’m not trading time from doing this by hand, only to spend all my time checking to make sure lacerte isn’t unwittingly spitting out the wrong numbers. Thanks!!!
