Accounting: Posted Balance 0 zero

Leonard Lin-2
Hi,

I've been trying to get accounting to work for a while, unfortunately
without luck.

I've been trying to create financial transactions. But whatever I do the
balance of the accounts to not change.
Some accounts have balances from payments automatically created by orders.
I can't created transactions which affect the balance.

I also tried on the demo system. But no luck there too.

I therefore think that I'm doing something wrong.
I've been trying for a while now and would really appreciate any help.

*My steps to reproduce:*
I loaded the demo data with the demo charts of accounts.
I assigned the accounts to my organization.

In the Accounting module:
-> Organization GL Settings -> Setup -> Charts of Accounts
Verify balances: e.g.  122300 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - MASTER CARD /
VISA: $127.09

I go create a transaction:
-> Organization GL Settings -> Accounting -> Accounting Transactions ->
(Quick) Create an Accounting Transaction
Acctg Trans Type: Payment (I tried various types)
Fiscal GL Type: Actual
Debit GL Account ID: 111100 General Checking Account
Credit GL Account ID: 122300 Accounts Receivables
Amount: $127.09
-> Create

The Header is created and the Transaction Entries are created correctly too.
- I then change the header to "Is Posted: Y" and Posted Date: Now
- The header becomes read-only.

I than go back to:
-> Organization GL Settings -> Setup -> Charts of Accounts
But the balance is unchanged still:  122300 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -
MASTER CARD / VISA: $127.09
(general checking account is unchanged too)

Can someone help me with this?

Accounts with balance now are:
- Accounts Receivables
- IN TRANSIT FROM CREDIT CARD PROCESSORS
- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - UNAPPLIED PAYMENTS
I saw that some automatically generated sales booking also did not
affect the 400XXX Sales account balances, which causes my "Accounts
Receivables" to be negative.

Thanks in advance for any help
