Brought forward balances on the sales and purchase ledgers

Accounting

Hi,

I have just created new client files on both the sales and purchase ledgers with brought forward balances.

However the balances are being included in my sales and cost of sales figures in my chart of accounts.

How do I correct this?

Regards
