Question

Moving balances out of an Account line.

Hello all, 

 

I'm hoping you can help me with something. 

Prior to our FY that started 10/01 Our clients were all Account lines in the chart of accounts. 

Current Liabilities:  

REX - Resident X

       REX1 - Income

            REX1A - SSA

       REX2 - Expenses

           REX2A - Rent

As such these accounts all have a balance to them. 
Starting this FY I entered all the clients as individual Customers, adding them in the customer center, and issuing a credit memo to mimic their closing balance on their account line as of 09/30. 

The problem is they all still have a balance with their old line accounts. How would I get rid of these? Is there a way to move those balances to the Customers? 

I'm very confused at the moment, and would like to fix this if possible before I get too deep into the FY. 

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi there, Michael. 

 

I can see that it's a duplicate post. My colleague, AileneA, already responded to your query about moving those balances to the Customers in QuickBooks Desktop. You can reply to her through this link so we'll be able to assist you further: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports-and-accounting/re-group-home-with-multiple-residents-need-help-on-attributing/01/1343848/highlight/true#M200501

Hi Nicole,

 

Different problem actually. My other post was about dealing with payments. This one was regarding how to get rid of a balance on an account line since I've Moved away from the residents being account lines in the Other Current Liabilities category and made them customers. I know it's all confusing and I probably sounds as of I'm repeating myself but it is a separate issue.
