Historical Balancing - Opening Balance

Hi,

 

Could you kindly help us to amend the opening balance of Historical Balancing?

Our balance sheet is not balanced because of the opening balance of Historical Balancing.

We start our business from FY 2023 with the MYOB so Trial Opening account is all ZERO.

Thank You.
