We are in the same boat, 607A does not fix any of the financial reporting as promised.

We just converted around Thanksgiving. We found that the beginning retained earnings each year was off and this is a known bug. Even running Verify Balances didn't seem to fix it. They sent us a fix, which we installed last week, and this fixed the retained earnings problem. Now is looks like the detail tables are correct but the summary tables get off. So if you run a trial balance, it looks like it takes the beginning balance from the summary table and adds the detail from the detail table. Verify Balances seems to fix it for the moment but then you hit the GL - we're out of balance again.

In general, converting to 907A has been a nightmare. I can't tell you how many bugs we've found. It's Dec. 26 and I'm still trying to complete November financial reports.

We have done our 2nd pass testing conversion and my CFO is seeing issues with reconciling the financials. Looks like it is not recognizing beginning balances correctly. The current transactions look ok but obviously if beginnings are off the ending balance will be off. We had Epicor do the conversion but did not get any 'Need to do these processes post conversion' list or anything. Any suggestions as to what was missed or what we need to do to have beginning balance reflect correctly?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Melissa,



Have you already tried running the Transfer Balances Process (General
Ledger>General Operations>Transfer Opening Balances to Next Year)? If so,
have you also tried the Verify Balance Records Process (General
Ledger>General Operations>Verify Balances)? If you�ve already run both of
these, what results do you have?



Regards,
Scott

Melissa,

You have to run the "Verify GL Balances". It sounds like you have the same issue we did and that solved it for us. It took a long time to run for us, I think over night. There is a log file that's written out in the process but we just went in and verified balances and all was good.



If you're in testing stages and will be doing another pass, I got a tip from someone to always reimport your posting rules before running the GL 10080 conversion - even if you don't think you have any custom rules.



Good luck!

Jenn

Did we miss something in instructions or should I say Epicor, or is this another gotcha that is not documented? I didn't see anything or get instructions from anyone that we needed to do anything post conversion. Just curious.

Thanks for the responses. I will hand over to my CFO and have him try these.
