In order to be able to save a Transaction, it must balance: the value of the debit postings must be the same as the value of the credit postings. You can use the following methods to balance a Transaction:

  1. Place the insertion point in the Base 1 Debit or Base 1 Credit field in any row and select 'Balance Transaction' from the Operations or Tools menu. A balancing figure will be brought in to the field containing the insertion point.

  2. If the last row in a Transaction is a credit posting, place the insertion point in the Base 1 Credit field in that row and press the Return or Enter key on the keyboard. A balancing figure will be brought in to that field. Pressing the Return or Enter key again will save the Transaction and open a new, empty, Transaction.

  3. Referring to the Difference Base 1 and Total fields in the footer of the Transaction, adjust the debit and credit values in the rows as necessary until the Difference is zero and the debit and credit totals match.
