Julie,
If you are using FRx and IFM, the previous suggestion by Jim might cause a
problem. I would suggest that you use either of the following methods:
1. If it's a small journal entry, then open the appropriate period for last
year and make the adjustment JE. Then make a JE to the current opening
period to adjust the opening balances as appropriate (the prior entry will
not correct beginning balance sheet balances or retained earnings). You will
need to specify the actual period for the opening period JE, not just an
effective date (can be done on the 2nd page of the header).
2. If you want to have the opening period "correct" itself, then you'll have
to copy/reverse it (the JE that created the opening period balances), make
the adjustment JE in the appropriate prior period, close all prior periods,
and submit your YE close job again (create opening balances) and post it.
Best regards,
Vanessa

   Julie,
   create a period (at end 2007 or begining 2008 or both) for adjustments.
    Update period structure(s).
   Post adjustments to this period.  Reverse in the other if that is what
you
   need/want to achieve.  No reversal will cause brought forward to be
   updated.

   We need to make adjusting entries in G/L for several accounts for last
   year (2007).  Does anyone know what steps we need to take and if the
   opening balances for 2008 for these accounts will automatically
   recalculate?
   THANKS!!
