Big Red Book Accounts v5
Opening Balances
Opening Balances are calculated and maintained differently by Big Red Book depending on whether
Allocation is On or Off.
When Allocation is Off the opening balance is calculated at year end and the previous year's transactions
are deleted. This is the 'Balance Brought Forward' method.
With Allocation On customer's and supplier's Opening Balances are calculated from the outstanding
balances of all transactions. Transactions are not deleted at Year End and a new Opening Balance is not
created.
When starting to use Big Red Book and setting up the opening balances for the first time you must to enter
the details of each unpaid or part-paid invoice so that receipts can be properly allocated against them.
Once an initial Year End Routine has been run on a company Open Balances cannot be entered directly as
they are made up of the invoices, receipts/payments and journals entered in previous years. If an
adjustment to an Opening Balance is required a debtors or creditors journal entry must be entered.
