Topic: Bank account transaction not updated when voiding a journal entry

When a journal entry involving a bank account is voided, the old amount still shows up in "Bank Account Inquiry", while "GL Account Inquiry" shows that it is being voided.

Regards,
Henry

Hello Henry,
Are you sure you selected the correct transaction type before voiding the transaction? If you don't select the Bank Deposit, Payment etc., it will not be voided. The GL transaction will be voided as well using these transaction types.

Hi Joe,

Since "Bank Account Inquiry" includes transactions posted using Journal Entry, it should reflect the voiding of a corresponding journal entry too.

Regards,
Henry

Re: Bank account transaction not updated when voiding a journal entry

Hello again Henry,
Yes you are right that bank transactions posted using Journal Entry is automatically posted to the bank transactions as well. However, this is a feature only for Administrators. It is the only way to setup an initial opening balance.
While most users are using the admin account, it is easy to use the Journal Entry to enter bank transactions.
You can use the voiding routine for many other type of transactions and several type of transactions are voided as well as the GL transactions. But if you insist, I will try to find a solution for this ;-)

Well Henry,
You got a point here, and it was quite easy to fix so I have fixed it now.
Check out the file /admin/db/voiding_db.inc at the CVS repository at https:/sourceforge.net/projects/frontaccounting .
