Welcome! Are you running 1.2 or 1.3? If the latter, which version?

I hope I can help you.

It's a bit hard for me to see what you are talking about since my chart probably looks differently. Do you mean the totals don't match or do you mean the accounts are not listed below the headings you expect them to be?

My thinking is that this is probably (mostly) an account grouping issue: LedgerSMB supports real account trees behind the scenes (although there's currently no way to report them as such). This may be related to that.
My expectation would be that re-entering transactions isn't required - instead we probably need to fix your account hierarchy.

If you're using 1.3, this is probably a reporting bug: accounts and headers have been separated into separate tables, meaning that you can't post on headers in LSMB 1.3.

Could you check if your 'account' and 'header' tables have entries with the same IDs? If so, which accounts are associated with the IDs of the 1000 and 1800 headers?

Do you have to charge Tax, by ant chance? If so, two debits and a credit make sense: one debit on the sales / rent account and one on liabilities (taxes due). The single credit on AR also makes sense.

Hope this gets us a few steps on the way. Let's see if we can disentangle it over e-mail.
Bye,
Erik.
