Note that a parent account will only roll up the balance in sub-accounts
in the CoA or Reports.  If you *open* the parent account then it wont
show the transactions (or balances) from the sub-accounts.  It is
unclear from your question how/where you are trying to view the
rolled-up balances.

There is an option to "Open Subaccounts", which will merge all the
transactions from the subaccounts, but it wont show a rolling balance.

Hope this helps,
