I have added a new bank account, but the current balance of old bank account changed and there's a negative current balance of the new bank account. Would you please advise me how to fix or edit the 'opening balance' of the new account?

Hi @Kevin888
Thanks for your post. Account opening balances are entered/edited in Accounting>>Chart of accounts>>click on the Account name to open the account>>Opening balance. If the Opening balance matches the bank statement check for transactions posted to those accounts which have caused the issue.
Please let me know if you need further help.

Many thanks for your reply . However I still don't know how to fix the problem. Would you please look at the attached file to see my problems and then advise me how to fix my MYOB mess. If I can't fix the problem, can I re-start everything from 1 November 2022.
kind regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin
The Opening balance of a bank account should be the bank statement balance on the date you start entering transactions in MYOB. Clearing accounts, like Undeposited funds, should have a $0.00 opening balance. Once your opening balances are correct, they shouldn't be changed to fix out of balance issues. Out of balance issues are caused by the transactions posted to the accounts.
Based on the information you've provided it sounds like you've incorrectly posted that transfer to the Undeposited funds account. Go to Banking>>Find transactions>>select Undeposited funds account in the Account field and check for transactions posted to that account. If the transfer has been posted to that account, click on the reference no to open the transaction and delete it.
The correct transaction for the transfer from the Business one account to the Cash reserve account is a Transfer money transaction with the From account as the Business one account and the To account as the Cash reserve account.
To clarify how Bank transactions and Reconcile accounts works:
Use the Find transactions window to check for duplicate transactions. If there are duplicates, delete the manually recorded transaction. If those transactions were reconciled you will need to undo and re-do the reconciliations.
Let me know how you go.

Many thanks for your reply and help.
I have started my MYOB account since May 2022. Although I have managed a bank feed with the operating bank account, there were about one or two bank feed transactions appeared in the account per month, Therefore I had no choice to record manually nearly all Spend money transactions until 1 Nov 2022.
I have followed with your advice and deleted all the duplicate transactions, most of the manual recorded transactions. However, the software still has not recorded all the Spend money transactions. Thus, I am unable to have a right current balance. Please advise what should I do.
The key problems for me are Current balance of two bank accounts and the Undeposited Funds Account. The figuers are all incorrect. I had no any problems and issues before 2 Nov 2022. The problems have started from 2 Nov 2022 when I created the second bank account, 1-1111 Cash Reserve. There's no any transctions for 1-1111 Cash Reserve account and how can I have a negative balance of -15,182.34. There's no any transctions for 1-1170 Undeposited account and how can I have a negative balance of -80,000. I have tried to hard to fix the above problems by checking Accounts, Edit accounts and Edit linked accounts. I have been unable to fix the problems. Very frustrated. It is obvious there's something wrong with the MYOB software. Please help.
