I often have to go back and 'correct' entries due to change of nominal code, value, date etc. Are there general rules/guidelines as to whether you reverse, delete, or amend then save through File Maintenance. I just wonder which is the tidiest way to do it as I seem to have quite a few 'cancelled' transactions and haven't worked out definitively which corrections trigger that. ie. which amendments can you save that don't 'cancel' then reenter the transaction....?
If you are proficient in Sage the easiest way to make most corrections is through File Maintenance but if your not or want to avoid the scenario of cancelled/deleted transactions the other ways are to reverse the orginal entry and re enter it correctly or if it is just a nominal code correction do a nominal ledger journal to cr the incorrect code and dr the right one
