Hi Maggie
Bloody hell - just typed a whole response and lost the lot - lets see if I can remember what I put!
Did we ever get to the bottom of which version of sage your have? I cannot recall, but its probably worth putting on each time to save us having to look at past posts (and given my head is battered with the January madness and its only 4th!)
If you cannot find it - go to Help across the top bar, click on Help, then About and its in the first column under program settings.
If you are on version 21 or earlier you cannot delete journals. If its v22 and above then you can.
For v22 go to transactions, locate the journal and press delete (next to edit across the top of the screen).
Must add a word of caution here for anyone reading about deleting stuff and not understanding the problems it can cause - USE THE DELETE OPTION SPARINGLY. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN BANK AND/OR VAT RECONCILED - as you can (technical term) fluff up your sage royally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
V21 and below as I say you cannot delete. (due to allowing people to fluff it up!). So what you need to do is do a reverse journal which is exactly the same as your original journal (in terms of any currency rate used/tax code/departments) - just the other way round. Suggest you add a narrative which will help the Accountant (although they will get it without) - eg 'reversal of ......' and quote further detail or just the original sage journal refs. Helps you perhaps when in a few months you wonder what you did.
You will then have two unreconciled sets of journals on the Bank rec, so you can include them on the rec - doesnt matter that they are not on the Bank statement as they effectively just cancel each other out.
See earlier posts about getting the correct currency rate to do the reversal if required.
Hope Im making sense!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Joanne
I am on Version 22 with Foreign Trader add on
I cannot delete the Journal
When I tried to do a Journal it wouldn't let me as they are only JC and therefore do not equal Zero at the end.
Do I need to find the JD for these to match too?
What if they are already deleted?
Maggie
Whoop Whoop
I did it - worked through the transactions and found the ones that I needed and did a Journal to reverse them and then Bank rec's to match them off.
I do hope I did it correctly.
So pleased!
Yay
Sorry - too much.
Maggie

Hi Maggie
I thought you had Pro version (which comes with Foreign Trader rather than it being an add on. But Im guessing you must have Sage Accounts with that FT add on, which is why you cannot delete the journals. either that or that part of the sage has been blocked to prevent journal deletions.
I was going to say -dont forget your double entry!! JC is just a journal credit so there will always be one or more JD (journal credit with it) to make it balance. Transfers just show as journal entries. Sounds like you were under the cosh when you write this one, but happy days later in the day!
Plus it was in here http://forum.bookkeepers.network/t62997640/foreign-trader-in-sage-50-professional/
BUT sounds like you have it sorted. You can check easily enough - your Bank recs on both the current accounts and the foreign currency accounts will soon flag up if its an issue, plus there should be NOTHING showing on the VAT screen.
