Hi

I am setting up a new account in Reckon Accounts Plus 2016.  For other accounts I have set up the default Opening Balance Equity returns to Nil once I have all the balances set up correctly. This time it is out by the Accounts Receivable minus the Accounts Payable amount. When I click into the Opening Balance Equity Account I can see all my other balances but not Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable balances. Is there some journal I am meant to do to bring these amounts into Opening Bal Equity? 
Thanks

    Thanks for helping. Yes, that's how I entered my oping balances for accounts receivable and payable. I created a customer and a supplier and set the opening balance at the 1/04 to be the amounts owing. Maybe I should have dated it the 31/03?

    I'll try that. ..

    Nope that didn't work. The two balances show in the chart of accounts but they don't appear anywhere i the Opening Balance Equity Ledger. Are they meant to?

    I'm a bit of a newbie so I'm probably missing something basic...
    Thanks again
