Hi... I use Sage and have three paid invoices that I would like to go back and alter the way the costs have been apportioned between the three nominal codes on each invoice. The overall total of the invoices won't change.
I realise I could journal the values in and out accordingly but I wondered what the effect would be of going into File Maintenance and just adjusting the values against each nominal code as the overall total won't change? These invoices have been reconciled with the bank though.
Also - on another invoice I have it split on two nominal codes - could I file maintenance that so one value is 0 and the other is the full amount?
The reason I am wanting to try the file maintenance option is so the supplier detail accurately reflects the nominal codes used and I don't think this wouldn't be the case if I just journalled adjustments through the various nominal ledgers would it?
Thanks :)

I think it will be ok to do this. The only time when you can't do it is when you are on cash accounting for VAT. If this is the case then Sage won't let you make the change.
If you take a backup first and then make the changes you can always restore the backup if it doesn't turn out the way you thought
