If you have looked at the teller audit report (LTLAU2), each section has two totals. One is on the left and one is on the right . Normally, these two totals equal each other. However, there are times when normal processing is interrupted and each total is not updated correctly, causing a left-to-right error. Sometimes these can be fixed in the current day.
