Post Transactions as Opening Balances

Post historic spending transactions as Opening Balances when a school or academy joined mid-year.

Written by Cristina Gruita

If your school or academy moved to Access Education Finance part way through the budget year, you may have spending transactions from earlier in the year that need to be recorded on the system as actuals.

These can be posted as Opening Balances, even if they were not completed during the initial data migration.

📌Note: Opening Balance transactions post to Period Zero (0), which represents the position before the first period of the financial year.

  4. Enter the transaction details.

  5. Click Submit.

The transactions will be posted to Period Zero (0), reflecting the opening position for the budget year.
