  Key Concepts: 
  Phantom Balancing is a feature in SAP Business One (SBO) that allows users to create a virtual balance sheet. This feature allows users to create a virtual balance sheet without having to manually enter all the data. The virtual balance sheet is created by using the data from the actual balance sheet and then adjusting it to reflect the desired outcome. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Phantom Balancing, users must first enter the data from their actual balance sheet into SBO. Once this is done, users can then adjust the data to reflect their desired outcome. This can be done by entering the desired values for each account and then clicking “Save”. Once saved, the virtual balance sheet will be created and can be used for reporting purposes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Phantom Balancing, it is important to remember that the data entered must be accurate in order for the virtual balance sheet to be accurate. Additionally, it is important to remember that any changes made to the actual balance sheet will not be reflected in the virtual balance sheet until they are manually entered into SBO.
