Jer,
That Proc Op is there mainly for Job Cost shops where they use Inception-to-Date numbers, i.e., from the beginning of time, as opposed to the usual which for P&L accounts when they say Year-to-Date they really mean just the current year's total. On Balance Sheet accounts Year-to-Date and Inception-to-Date are the same.
It sounds like you have a Header Account that is set to allow Posting. This is considered a no-no in a good COA set-up because it means that at higher reporting LODs the F0911s for the Header Account don't balance to the F0902s. It's also a bad idea because of the problem you've encountered.
