Balance sheet showing negative balance

Hi all,
I had setup a new company on erpnext, i have the balance sheet and profit/loss data with me, which i m trying to add onto erpnext.

I have created a journal entry for the company, however the balance is showing negative. what could be the reason for this?

Issue Example:
if i am adding total as Asset : $5000 , in the balance sheet report it is showing as -$5000.

Any insight or suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Sounds you swapped debits and credits!

As per debits and credits rules, assets are incresed by debit!
