Note: Once a reconciliation action has been taken, the post is completely locked. Prior to that, a limited correction action can be taken.
Correcting the Account on a Posted Imported Journal Entry
If a posted journal entry came from a bank transaction import and one of its lines was assigned to the wrong ledger account, an admin can use Correct account to move that line to the correct account.
This is intended for narrow corrections, such as moving a historical imported cash line from 1000 Cash & Bank Accounts to 1010 Operating Checking Account.
The correction only changes the ledger account on that line. It does not change the journal entry date, amount, debit/credit values, memo, description, source transaction, or posting status.
When This Is Available
The Correct account option is only available when:
The journal entry is already posted.
The journal entry was created from an imported bank transaction.
The specific journal line has not been reconciled.
The replacement account is active and belongs to the same organization.
The replacement account is the same account type as the original account, such as Asset to Asset.
When This Is Not Available
You cannot use this correction if:
The journal entry was manually created or came from another source.
The entry is a draft, since draft entries can be edited normally.
The line has already been reconciled.
You are trying to change the amount, date, memo, or debit/credit structure.
You are trying to move the line to a different account type.
All corrections are recorded in the audit log with the original account, replacement account, journal entry number, line amount, source type, user, and timestamp.
