		<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>Creating an opening balance can be required in the following situations:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>If you archive transactions that still contribute to the business objects to be reconciled, for example, for long-term projects and orders, you can create an opening balance for the business object. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4595m000" role="session">Operations Management - Financial Reconciliation (tfgld4595m000)</GUIRef> session, select a transaction and on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4595m000#create.open.balance" role="formcommand">Create Reconciliation Opening Balance</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>If you start using SSA ERP, you must enter the existing balances of your ledger accounts as opening balances in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef>. As part of the reconciliation setup, the same opening balances must also be created in the Reconciliation Data (tfgld495) table for the reconciliation groups that you use, for example, for <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work in Progress (WIP)</GUIRef> accounts and <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Inventory</GUIRef> accounts.</ListItem>

			<Paragraph>The opening balance only affects the logged Reconciliation Data (tfgld495) table and is used to generate the reconciliation reports. No transactions are posted to the ledger accounts.</Paragraph>
