Under Over billing Entries

SOLVED

Each month I make an entry to my underbillling account and to my overbilling account and the net goes to my "Overbilling/Underbilling" Revenue account.

The next month the entry for the prior month is reversed and the new entry is posted.  Shouldn't the ending balances of these 3 accounts match the amounts I posted into the G/L? They all do except for the "Over/Under" Revenue account.  It doesn't show the net balance I put in. Am I missing something here?

    No not all three accounts.  I do the same thing at my company.  Your asset account (underbillings) and your liability account (overbillings) should match.  The third account should be an income account and it will be an accumulated net balance of all the adjustments throughout the year.  At end year, because it is an income account it will be cleared into the retained earnings account.

    Thanks for answering...you know how it is... you think you know what is correct but then after you think too hard about it, you aren't sure.
