Whether it is data corruption or a full moon, occasionally you may find your General Ledger out of balance. Seems to happen at the most inopportune time too, doesn’t it? Here’s how you fix it in Sage MAS 90 or 200.
First, you need to be logged in as a user with supervisor rights (Library Master – Security – User Maintenance). If you are not using login names for Sage MAS 90 or 200 you will need to set one up and assign the login user rights.
Make the journal entry so that it is out of balance. You’ll receive a pop-up box as shown below. Note the far right button say’s “ONE” — this ONLY displays when you are logged in as a user with supervisor rights. If you don’t see the button, verify you’ve logged in as a user with supervisor rights per above. If that doesn’t work try exiting Sage MAS 90 or 200 and re-entering.

Click the ONE button and you’ll be able to make a one-sided journal entry.
NOTE: Under normal circumstances you should NOT have to make one-sided journal entries in Sage MAS 90 or 200. We have only seen on-sided entries needed when there is some type of hardware/software failure resulting in data corruption or if you are importing transactions via Visual Integrator or some other third party solution. Normally you will not need to worry about a on-sided journal entry with Sage MAS 90 or 200.
NOTE #2: In version 4.x+ — this option must be allowed by giving security permissions to the role.
