Modifying Journal Entries
You can modify an existing journal entry that hasn't been approved for posting or hasn't been posted.
If you edit any type of journal entry that has been applied as a payment to an invoice or vendor bill, the relationship between the journal entry and payment is removed and the payment is no longer applied. Additionally, any associated currency revaluations are deleted if they're in an open or locked period, or reversed if they're in a closed period. You must edit the invoice or bill payment and reapply the payment.
If the Require Approvals on Journal Entries accounting preference is enabled, users must have the Full level of the Journal Approval permission to delete approved journal entries. Users must have the Edit level of the Journal Approval permission to edit approved journal entries.
To modify an existing journal entry:
-
Go to Transactions > Financial > Make Journal Entries > List.
-
If available, click Edit next to the journal entry you want to modify.
The Edit link isn't available for journals that already have been approved for posting or have been posted.
-
On the Journal page, modify the account as needed. For information about each field, see Making Journal Entries.
For information about deleting and memorizing journals, see Deleting Journal Entries and Memorized Transactions.
