Balances

The balances section singular purpose is to help you validate the data you have inputted into the system. The balances are calculated using the transactions in the system and for every field of a transaction that changes a balance (like the consideration, fees, taxes, etc) it does a double entry update of the affected accounts, which are then summed up to give the current balance. In the ideal scenario, this matches the balances you have in your real accounts, but if you have transactions that are not supported by the system, then this will not be the case.
