If there is a balance in your Trial Balance, you should create a preview of the accounts in AP and compare the results to the iXBRL accounts of the following:

  1. Stat P&L
  2. Balance Sheet

If they both match, then there was already an imbalance in the iXBRL template and we will be unable to advise on how to correct this misposting.
