Account Balance — entity reference

A retired balance record from the earlier general ledger. Its storage was removed when the current journal-based ledger replaced the old one, and nothing in xMatix creates, reads or updates it any more. It is in no app or menu. Because nothing stores it, the platform refuses any attempt to read or save an Account Balance, for example through the data API or an import, with the error "Entity type 'AccountBalance' not found in model." The definition, a create form, a preview form and the standard New, Edit and Clone actions remain in the metadata only because entity definitions are never removed by updates. Account balances are now built from posted journal lines: per GL account and period for the GL Account Ledger, GL Account Balances and the financial statements, and per customer or supplier inside each control account for the subledger. Do not confuse this record with the Account Balance field on a GL Account, which is a separate figure on the GL Account itself.
