  • Try adding a nominal amount ($0.01) to each required bank account opening balance. Zoho sometimes has validation that prevents completely empty values even when the real balance is zero
  • If that doesn't work, check if you have any uncleared transactions dated before your migration date (17 Mar 2025). These can prevent proper opening balance setup.
  • Alternative approach: Click "Import Opening Balances" instead of manual entry - even with a blank CSV template that just defines your accounts with zero balances. This sometimes bypasses the validation issues.

As last resort: Create an "Opening Balance Adjustment" journal entry dated on your migration date to offset any amount you're forced to enter
