Step 4 : Opening Control Account Balance
After migrating all transactions to Localize, it is time to open control accounts (in case they have an outstanding balance), such as:
- Opening A/R Control Account Balance
- Opening A/P Control Account Balance
- Opening Stock Control Account Balance
Remember, we have changed the types of A/R, Inventory, and A/P to “Other Current Asset” and “Other Current Liability”, So now create a new A/R, A/P, and Inventory Asset Account in Localizebook to handle all outstanding balances.
The control accounts include accounts such as Account Receivable Account (A/R), Account Payable Account (A/P), and Inventory Asset Account.
Before we post the balance of a control account into the system. If you have not yet created it, you need to create or import the chart of accounts first.
