important
You do not need to take any action. This error message is only for your information.
It is possible to change rounded figures to their true value by carrying out the following steps, but we do not advise it.
Before you carry out the following steps, bear in mind that not all figures in the trial balance can be rounded to their true value without causing out-of-balance issues or a mismatch of totals in the note and/or the Balance Sheet.
  1. Compare the Trial Balance to the Note to identify the codes that Accounts Production Advanced has rounded.
  2. Select

    , then
    Configuration

  3. Select
    Accounts
     from the main menu.
  4. Select the code you identified in step 1, then
    Edit
    .
  5. Select the
    Round Independently
     checkbox.
note
These steps will either move the rounded amount to a different code in the same section or make the carrying amount in the note different to the equivalent in the Balance Sheet.
