Why do some transactions have no zoom arrow?

When you click on a zoom arrow next to a transaction, you're able to view the transaction in the window in which it was created. Some transactions, though, have no zoom arrow because the original transaction can't be displayed. Here's why some transactions have no zoom arrow:

• The date of the transaction is before the first day of your conversion month.

• The date of the transaction is before the first day of your fiscal year (if you've used the Start a New Fiscal Year feature in your company file).

• The date of the transaction is within a purged period (if you've purged transactions from your company file). This occurs if the entire invoice or purchase order is purged, but the journal entries attached to them haven't been purged yet. Payments also display no arrow.

• End of the year adjustment -- this is an internal AccountEdge transaction that takes place during the Start a New Fiscal Year process. The transaction transfers the balance of the Current Year Earnings account to the Retained Earnings account.

Reasons that are very specific:

• If you've used the Start a New Fiscal Year feature in your company file after you applied a debit/credit that was dated in the old fiscal year but applied in the current fiscal year.

• A check transaction from the previous fiscal year applied as a partial payment on a invoice or purchase order that is still open in the current fiscal year (if you've used the Start a New Fiscal Year feature in your company file).

For inventory journal transactions only

In order for a zoom arrow to appear next to an inventory journal transaction, the transaction must have been entered using version3. (Inventory transactions are those that are assigned an IJ journal number.) In MYOB software before version 3, inventory transactions could only be viewed in the Transaction Journal window. Zoom arrows aren't available for those inventory journal transactions.
