This is used as a guide only to ensure you have a value of zero for the sheet. however, as the NomCode and Ref fields are used to separate journals you should take extra care to ensure all will balance. 


NB: Sage will accept one side of a journal but reject another with an error such as invalid nominal code causing one-sided postings. In the event of this happening a balancing journal will be required to solve the imbalance.
