You should only have to carry forward the Assets and Liabilities and create the opening balances for them. This will create the corresponding entries in Equity in the form of the Opening Balances
The items in Equity which previously appeared in Retained Earnings etc will now be included in the Equity:OpeningBalances account. If you specifically want to include the Retained earnings balance and other previous balances in Equity you could create them with a transfer transaction like Equity:OpeningBalances Dr xxxx Equity:Retained Earnings Cr xxxx where xxxx is the balance carried forward from your previous books with similar transactions to create the carry forward balances for other equity accounts. Annottae the description field to indicate these are balances carried forward and a reference to the previous books. David Cousens You can edit the opening balance transactions and change the date to an appropriate date ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
