Description

Resolution

CAUTION: Use caution when working with the below product functionality. Always create a backup of your data before proceeding with advanced solutions. If necessary, seek the assistance of a qualified Sage business partner, network administrator, or Sage customer support analyst.

 

Information

We don't recommend using General Ledger, Task, Change Entries. It doesn't create an audit trail of the changes you make. If you delete an entry, it's completely removed.  See more considerations for using Change Entries in General Ledger to correct transactions.

If you need to change a General Ledger entry, record new correcting entries in General Ledger, Task, Record Entries.

To delete or remove unwanted unposted transactions, see the options in Related Solutions below.

Change the transaction

This is for advanced operators only as the Change Entries task allows you to edit your transactions directly and without posting. An error made in the Change Entries task may require you to restore from backup. If you need to delete a one-sided entry, you'll need to change your Force Zero Proof settings to No for the entry change. Restore the original setting once completed.

  1. Make a backup of your data.
  2. Select Tasks, Open/Close Posting Period, if you need to open the posting period.
  3. Select Tasks, Change Entries.
  4. Select New to correct unposted transactions, or select Current to correct posted transactions. Don't select recurring.
  5. Browse to your entry and make the appropriate corrections or click Delete to delete the entry.
  6. Verify that your debits equal your credits.
  7. Click Finish, and then click Start to print the journal to a file or printer.
