[GNC] How To Put Opening Balance in Acc Rev Account?

Mon Mar 14 23:32:32 EDT 2022

Arthur,

The Accounts Receivable account is an asset account which means it is debited to increase its balance and credited to decrease its balance. You want to it to have a negative balance by the amount your tenant is in credit. 
Manually nter a transaction at the date you opened the books with the following
entries/splits to create the negative opening balance xxx. You can do this
either from the Acounts Receivable or the Opening balances register.

Asset:Accounts Recievable    Credit xxx
Equity:Opening Balances      Debit  xxx
