Entering opening balances

If you are creating your Time file from a previous Time software package, you can enter the work in process and accounts receivable opening balances as they were when you closed out the period on the previous time and billing package. Entering the time and expense opening balances or opening accounts receivable balances enables the aging of transactions in the Time file to work properly.

There are two available methods for entering opening balances into your file. You can import the opening balances from the previous time and billing software package or you can enter the opening balances manually using printouts from the previous software package.
