Hi NAV community,

I want to check if I can make any change to already posted transaction. For example posting date change, Dimension code change, amount change etc. At this moment we have to reverse the entry and do a new Journal for rectification. If there is a simple way to do change.

thanks

Khushwant

With a developer license you will have the access to posted transaction tables, However It is not recommended to change any details in the posted transactions since it will create miss match in the system.

Best solution is to reverse or post a credit/debit note and re-enter the transaction. In that way you will be safe and will not have problems in the system integrity.

You can make a reversal entry for the transactions. Even the journal entries can be reversed. The reason to avoid backend modification is to get away from the inconsistencies in the data. There are many areas to be considered, (e.g. Analysis by Dimension, if you are changing/updating the dimension in the posted Transaction / journal, it may not be reflecting here.). Modifying the data may be an easy task, but if you try to tally the data (in future, may be during year end, will be a mess). My strong advice is to avoid these situations.

Thanks Mahesh,

I am not saying that I will do it for all my transaction changes. But some specific transactions are just missing a Dimension code. so Looking for if there is any way so that with completing the dimension code, the entry can be rectified? Or sometime Journal is posted with a wrong date and we have to rectify it.

Hi Khushwant,

Reversal of the entry by way of the respective document (ie. Credit Memo for Invoices, Journal for Journal etc.) is the right approach. Changing the Posting Date, Dimension code, Amount etc. is not the right approach, otherwise you may end up in correcting the entries while trying to tally the Ledger and Subledgers etc.)

My suggestion is to use the standard way (unless you have a customized solution to take care of the reversal).
