Sum of vendors and customers doesn't equal balance of 2100 & 1200 due to using foreign currencies

Posted By FormerMember

Hi,

When I finished setting up a new company using set up guide, I cannot leave history mode and I had this message:

CAD Balance
$0.00 Total Outstanding Canadian Dollars Invoices
$0.00 Total Outstanding United States Dollars Invoices (US$0.00 USD)
_______________
$0.00
$175.44 Current Balance of 2100 Accounts Payable
_______________
-$175.44 Difference

Either your Vendors' historical information or the opening balance of account 2100 Accounts Payable, or both, is incorrect.

Checking Customers...
The sum of your Customers' information does not equal the current balance of account 1200 Accounts Receivable.

CAD Balance
$0.00 Total Outstanding Canadian Dollars Invoices
$0.00 Total Outstanding United States Dollars Invoices (US$0.00 USD)
_______________
$0.00
$57.50 Current Balance of 1200 Accounts Receivable
_______________
-$57.50 Difference

Either your Customers' historical information or the opening balance of account 1200 Accounts Receivable, or both, is incorrect.

I guess the differences caused by the differences of exchange rate. 

How can I do now, i need to change to a new fiscal year. Thanks a lot.

I am getting message as the opening balance 1200 accounts receivable is incorrect. When I try to start new year.I just made a new sage account with the balances from old account as the old company account has some errors . Also I am a new user to sage .
