Topic: Invoicing & voiding invoices

Consider the following
I made a invoice with lots of items on it.
when i check my profit & loss i see that the transactions went to the wrong chart of account number.This due to improper assigning of a accountnumber in the item code.

How do i correct that ?
The only option is by voiding the invoice, but the problem is that i have to make the invoice again and that costs lots of time.

And lesson learnt to correct it in the future is to assign the correct account number in the item code.
The golden rule garbage in IS garbage out


Is there a option where i could click on that specific transactions and change the wrong account number into the right one. So that when i generate my profit & loss i get the information how it much be on the right number.

In a accounting software called Exact Globe 2003 this is possible you don't have to make a new invoice for it just change the wrong account number

Looking forward to yours reaction

Re: Invoicing & voiding invoices

You can do the correction in Journal Entries. Just figure out how much is gone into the wrong account and then debit the wrong account and credit the correct account. And remember to fix the right accounts on the items.
