Edit Purchase Journal

 
One of the most common errors that occurs in an accounting system is posting a  transaction to the wrong general ledger account. This error is usually caught when  reviewing a purchase or sales journal and the accountant finds, for example, the  utility bill posted to the telephone expense general ledger account. 
An easy way to facilitate the correction process is the Edit Purchase Journal Module step. It shows a list of all of the accounts payable invoices for a selected date range. 
The Edit Purchase Journal indicates whether each invoice has been previously updated. If an invoice has not been updated, the user may change the general ledger account number as necessary without being required to reverse and re-enter the invoice. If the invoice has been updated, the invoice will have to be reversed and re-entered.
