Why am I getting a "GL proof error"? (Financial Statements)

You may receive a warning message that the "GL did not proof to zero" when running a financial statement.  This warning is simply telling you that Allocations need to be run to balance out cash amongst all of your funds.  Follow these steps to rectify this problem:

1.  In the General Ledger, go to Journals > Create Allocations.
2. Verify the Period is set to the month to which you are running your financial statements or any subsequent month.
3. Click GO.

If you receive a message that allocations are required for prior periods, click Yes.

Try running your financial statements again.  This warning should not appear any longer.
