Create a correcting journal entry
If the journal entry
If the journal entry
If you are preparing the VAT report when you discover that you have posted an entry in the wrong account or with an incorrect amount, you should stop what you are doing and start over with the VAT report once the error has been corrected.
- Select Accounting - Journal entries.
- Select the deviating journal entry.
- Select Edit.
In the view that opens you can choose to correct the ledger amount or ledger account.
- Select Actions - Create a correcting entry.
If
- Check the box next to the row that requires correction, or in case everything should be corrected check Select all. A new correcting entry is then shown and the posted transactions are automatically reversed for the selected rows.
- Select a date for the correcting journal entry.
- Add the ledger accounts you want to use.
- Select Post to ledger.
Keep in mind that the date of the correcting journal entry could affect a previously closed and reported VAT period. You should then go back and undo the affected VAT report and create a new one.
You can read more about how to correct journal entries due to an incorrect amount, date or account in Help, something is wrong!
If you want to cancel a journal entry that contains account 2440 or 1510 and is created via an invoice, we recommend making changes via the invoice in question instead. You can either create a credit note or cancel the entire invoice if it is unpaid. Read more in the topics Credit invoice and Void a sales invoice.
