Re-Importing Trial Balance Data
You might need to re-import the trial balance to get current account balances if an engagement has been rolled forward, changes have occurred on the books since the initial import, or if the wrong trial balance was imported initially.
New trial balance data is appended to the existing trial balance data as follows:
- Existing account names are updated, if applicable.
- Existing current period balances are zeroed out before importing the new balances.
- Prior period balances are left intact and not re-imported.
- Existing journal entries are left intact.
- Existing accounts stay assigned to the same group, sub-group, property, type and classification on both the financial and tax trial balance tabs.
- New accounts are automatically assigned both financial and tax groups, or left Unassigned if no match is found during mapping.

-
