Adjust preliminary journal entries

For the above mentioned types of journal entries it is possible to change:

• the date.
• the ledger account.
• the VAT code (if you use automatic VAT calculation).
• the amount and whether the amount is to be posted as debit or credit.
• adding or removing rows.

Even when a journal entry is preliminary, there are certain types of rows that cannot be adjusted:

• if the posting is for a customer receivable ledger account and linked to a sales invoice.
• if the posting is for account 2018 and the company is a sole proprietorship.
• if the posting is for a payable ledger account and linked to a purchase invoice.
• if the posting is for a cash or bank ledger account and matched to a business transaction.
• if the posting is for a tax account.

For rows posted against these accounts no changes can be made, not even the date.

Please note that a journal entry is not preliminary and not adjustable if:

• the entry is a correcting journal entry or is connected to a correcting journal entry.
• there are allocations entries made for the journal entry.
• the journal entry is included in a VAT report that have been posted to the ledger.
• the entry is an offsetting journal entry or a posting of a doubtful debt.
• it belongs together with a bank transaction that has also been matched against a sales or purchase invoice.
