Your balance sheet is showing accumulated depreciation instead of book value due to misconfigured journal entries or report settings. Try these fixes:
-
Check Journal Entries
- Debit: Depreciation Expense (600012)
- Credit: Accumulated Depreciation (101002)
- Ensure the Fixed Asset Account (101001) is not directly credited.
-
Review Balance Sheet Settings
- Ensure it displays Net Book Value (Asset Cost - Accumulated Depreciation) instead of just accumulated depreciation.
-
Test with Manual Journal Entry
- Debit: Fixed Asset Account (101001) with the asset cost.
- Credit: Accumulated Depreciation (101002) with depreciation amount.
- Debit: Depreciation Expense (600012).
-
Recompute & Regenerate Reports
- Refresh the balance sheet after adjustments.
If the issue persists, verify how depreciation is recorded in Journal Entries and share details if needed!
