General and Payment Ledger Comparison

General and Payment Ledger Comparison checks that the two books BRAccount keeps for customers and suppliers agree: the General Ledger balance of Debtors or Creditors for each party must equal the sum of that party's Payment Ledger Entry rows. When they differ, an invoice can show an outstanding amount while the customer's ledger says zero, or Accounts Receivable and the Trial Balance disagree on total debtors. The gap usually comes from a migration, a cancelled voucher that only half reversed, or a Journal Entry posted to Debtors without a party. Jivan Dahal shows Rs 0 in both ledgers in the demo, so no row appears. Run it when an outstanding looks wrong and after any data import.

For each party and account: GL balance (debit - credit) - Payment Ledger balance = 0; a row appears when the difference is not zero
