Now that you've entered information about your vendors, enter information about any outstanding transactions you may have with them. These are purchases you've made that you haven't paid in full as of the first day of your conversion month. These transactions are referred to as
historical purchases.
The total of all historical purchases should equal the opening balance of your payables account. If it does not, an out of balance amount will appear. Ensure that you have entered all of your historical purchases correctly and that the opening balance of your payables account is correct.
