we're confused why they're different and why the Amount is higher. The Balance is what's showing on the transaction itself

My understanding is that Amount is the transaction amount that is being posted to that Balance sheet account. Balance is the running balance of the account.

Um yes thats exactly what it is. Look at the previous entry which was negative

Thanks. How to validate the Running Balance? Any saved search I can run?

Open the Register by clicking on the GL number from a transaction. Or drill down to view from beginning of time for the company
