Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Unbalanced journal entry
An unbalanced journal entry, where total debits do not equal total credits, will cause the general ledger balance to not match the sum of debits and credits. Option A is incorrect because the voucher number series merely assigns identifiers and does not affect accounting balances. Option B is incorrect because posting profile configuration determines how transactions are posted to accounts but does not cause an imbalance if the journal entry itself is balanced. Option D is incorrect because user permissions control access rights, not the balancing of journal entries.
