Symptoms

In budgets you may see values for Revenue or Liability that are expected to be Credit (Cr) amounts and are in fact Debits (Dr).

Use Note 1050920.6 How To Correct Misclassified Accounts in General Ledger, to verify what accounts are misclassified. This helps to resolve problems in the Actuals transactions. There are further notes mentioned in this that will allow you to identify other misclassified accounts.
