'%1' used as Asset account. Opening balance mismatch. Account: %2 %3, Items (%4): %5 %6. Difference: %7 %8

This message is displayed when the opening balance of the account (Account Table) used as an Asset account in the Item Table, does not match the sum of the initial values of all the Items with the same Asset account.

Causes

  • An incorrect opening balance was entered for the account in the Accounts table.
  • An incorrect opening balance was entered for one or more Items.
  • You made some changes that need a full recalculation. 
  • You have assigned an Asset Account to a wrong Item and maybe in a different part of the Item table or the Asset Account column is not visible.

Solutions

  • Recalculate all the accounting.
  • Eventually make the Asset Account column visible and check all items again, maybe using the filter.  
  • In the Accounts table, enter the matching opening balance for the account in the "Opening currency" column (or "Opening" if the accounting is not multi-currency).
  • In the Items table, enter the correct quantity and unit price for all Items linked to the account.
