Workpaper Dashboard

Document and Enter Trial Balance screen don't match

In some cases, a Workpapers CS document with formulas may display amounts that don't match the amounts on the
Enter Trial Balance
 screen. Use the information below to determine why this is happening and how to resolve it.

If the numbers on the Enter Trial Balance screen are correct

Typically, the amounts in a Custom Excel document will display prior year numbers in the current year column in this scenario.
  1. Select
    Setup
    , then
    Engagement Binders
     or right-click on the Engagement Binder on the Workpapers Dashboard and choose
    Properties
    .
  2. Check that the
    Period ending date
     is the correct date and matches the Current Posting Period of the client.

If the numbers on the Workpapers CS document are correct

Typically, the current posting period for the client in the main part of the application is in a different year than the document in the Engagement Binder.
  1. In the main part of Workpapers CS, look at the Current Posting Period in the lower left corner of your screen.
  2. Select
    Actions
    , then
    Change Posting Period
     and select the correct posting period.
