      General Ledger Debit & Credit Showing on the Same Row

      General Ledger reports may sometimes show a debit and a credit value in the same row that your accounting software may not appreciate. This article will go over why this happens and how to fix it.

      How does this happen?

      This normally happens because of a negative amount entered on payroll, either as a one time override or a voided check.

      When we have a negative regular earning, for example, the system would either use that as a negative DEBIT on your regular earning row, or it would change that negative to a positive CREDIT to move it to the other side of your accounting.

      How do we fix it?
