i did a journal entry in sage, but then notice i forgot to change the date, but tried to edit it from file > maintance> correction, but it won't let me edit the date or even delect it, what else can i do? please help.

If you can't edit it you'll have to do another journal with the same date to reverse it then do the correct journal with the correct date

columbia

Go into Nominal, do you have the facility to reverse journals?

Whoa Gem, we must have posted at the same time!!!

IIRC in sage you can't change journals?

meibaker

have tried so many time, it just won't let me edit or delect, i use company>journal to creat a jounral account, is that right?

meibaker

You mean nominal -> journal?

Yeah you can't edit journals, need to reverse the one with the wrong date and then the new one in with the right date.

I think gem explains it a bit better :001_tongue:

No problem, really need to watch with journals in sage, many a time i've had to reverse them etc due to small errors, makes the ledgers look a mess!

Just check and double check your journals are correct before accepting them..

one more quick question about journal,what do you write under the detail in journal, do you write eg computer equipement at cost, or to correct error of annalysis. thanks

I can reverse mine, must be a different version.

columbia

I usually make a note of the audit trail number and nominal account I am correcting to make it easier to identify.

Yeah just a description of what it's doing..

I.e. depreciation of computers would be

"computer depreciation charge for year" etc

Basically a description so if an accountant etc, a year down the line, is doing the year end accounts they can understand what's going on.

Hmm might be able to in V15, not really had much use for that at work as most clients are still on 10-12!

I've just remembered. I'm on Sage Client Manager, which is part of the Sage Bookkeepers Club, so it probably does a few extra whizzy things!!!
