Changing transactions

After you record a transaction in MYOB AccountEdge, you may want to change the information you've entered on the transaction or you may want to completely remove the transaction from your accounting records.

The method you use to change your accounting records is different depending upon the type of security you've chosen for your transactions. (What are changeable and unchangeable transactions?)

• If your transactions are changeable, you can change the information on a transaction or delete a transaction.
• If your transactions are unchangeable, in order to change your accounting records you must reverse transactions.

Note: Some transactions can't be changed

Regardless of your security preference setting, there are some types of transactions that can't be changed. They are customer payments, paychecks, refund checks and bank deposits of undeposited funds. To remove the effects of these transactions from your company file, you can either delete them or reverse them.

Note: Changing time billing invoices won't update activity slips

If you used the Prepare Time Billing Invoice window to create the time billing invoice you want to change, remember that any changes you make won't be reflected in any activity slips. In addition, time billing reports based upon activity slip records may be inaccurate.
