I recorded a journal entry and some information is wrong

Begin by displaying the transaction in the Record Journal Entry window. You can do this by locating the transaction in the Transaction Journal window and double-clicking it.

The next steps you need to follow depend upon whether your transactions are changeable or unchangeable. (If you're unfamiliar with changeable and unchangeable transactions, or if you're unsure which option applies to you, please read What are changeable and unchangeable transactions before continuing.) If your transactions are changeable, simply make whatever changes are needed, then click Record.

If your transactions are unchangeable, choose Reverse General Journal Transaction from the Edit menu. A transaction that undoes the effects of the original, incorrect transaction is displayed. Review it, make any necessary changes - you can change the General Journal number, date and memo if you like. Click the Record Reversal button, then reenter the transaction with the necessary changes.
