Editing a transaction from the General Journal

You can edit all active fields. The fields that are active vary depending on the type of transaction.

To edit a transaction in the General Journal:

  1. Open the General Journal. Show me how

  2. Move the pointer to the left of the transaction to display and click Edit.

  1. Click in any active field and make your changes.  If a field is not active, you can’t edit it.

  1. Click Add Line if you need to use more accounts.

The transaction difference must have a zero balance (the total in the Debit column equals the total in the Credit column). You can't save the entry until the credits and debits are equal.

  1. Click Save Changes.
