If you create a new Retained profit nominal each year (which is not standard practice, they are Balance Sheets that tend to roll over year on year) then rebuilding last year's retained profit will always pull through journals from the previous year. It's not possible to reverse this function once actioned. To get around this please follow the steps below:
The quick option is to Journal the balance on your new nominal straight over to your old retained profit nominal, to do this, please follow the steps below:
From the DPS Home Screen, Go to Nominal Ledger, and select Journals.
Journal the balances from your newly created Retained Profit to your previous Retained Profit nominal, then click Post.
If you do not want to see these corrective journals on your New years retained profit nominal, please follow the steps below:
From the DPS Home Screen, Go to Nominal Ledger, and select Journals.
Journal the balances from your newly created Retained Profit to your previous Retained Profit nominal, then click Post.
Go to Nominal Ledger, and select Nominal Accounts, double click on the new Retained Profit nominal, click Archived then click Save.
Still, in Nominal Ledger, Nominal Accounts screen, select New. Create another new Retained Profit Nominal and Save.
Go to Tools, and select Default Nominals, set the new Retained Profit Nominal and click Save.
