Field Description - Period Balance
The Period Balance is an Account Number's balance for a specific accounting Period.
Warning: Although you can change the Period Balance, the need is rare and NDS recommends extreme caution.
Tips:
If the balance makes an Account a contra account, the balance shows as a negative amount. For example, if an Account is set up with the Debit/Credit Option set to Credit, then the balance shows as negative if it becomes a Debit balance. And conversely, if the Debit Account's balance becomes a Credit amount, the balance shows as a negative amount.
Changes to the Account Balances made during Account Master Maintenance appear in the Audit Tracking system, if it has been activated.
