Probably silly Q but see no solution.

[John R. Sowden]

Sometimes I have not completed a fiscal year (posting depreciation, 
adjusting payroll liabilities, etc.) but I need to start the new year.   
I set up a series of beginning transactions on the first day of the 
fiscal year (only assets, liabilities, and equity).  Then I can go back 
and adjust the transactions later when I have the correct data.  I have 
about 5 transactions with about 15 account changes in each transaction. 
If there are no changes that I know about at the time, I still enter the 
account with a transaction amount of zero, that way it is easy to adjust 
later.

hope this helps,
John
