Opening Total option located in the right mouse button menu of the G/L Slips window is used to view opening totals of the account. Opening amounts are recorded at period start by selecting Opening Slip on the Slip Type field. If the chart of accounts is too comprehensive, the Opening
Slip can be recorded in multiple parts since it will be comprehensive as well. In other words, multiple Opening Slips can be defined. When opening total is selected, all opening slips are displayed with Slip Number, Description, Debit and Credit totals.
Since opening transactions can be divided into multiple slips, and opening amounts may not be determined at period start, Opening Slips can be recorded without matching debit and credit totals. Therefore, the Opening Total window also displays the balance total.
