If your company is operating in batch mode
To unpost journal entries to edit a batch of transactions
-
From the Tasks menu, select System, then Unpost.
If this option is not available, then your company is more than likely set to Real-Time mode, or you do not have access to this area because of settings in the User Security window.
- Choose which journals you want to unpost, or select all.
-
To begin unposting, select OK.
When finished, all transactions within the journals you chose (including transactions that are dated in the current accounting period and future accounting periods) are temporarily removed to the general ledger.
Note: Before you can change accounting periods, you must post all journals.
To edit posted transactions without unposting journals
Sage 50 allows you to edit a single transaction in a past or future accounting period without having to unpost the journal.
- In the task window, select the List toolbar button.
- In the List window, select Posted (or Both) in the Status drop-down list; then select the accounting period where the transaction was entered. Select Search to display the transaction on the task window.
- Double-click a transaction to display it.
-
Enter your changes and select Save.
The transaction is automatically posted to the general ledger.
