Correct an entry

Quietly changing a posted entry would break the audit trail and numbers already reported. In Degresh Finance every correction is recorded as an action of its own, so you can always see what happened and who did it. There are two ways: a reversal and a void.

Open the entry and choose Reverse. A new entry is posted with the same lines but debits and credits swapped, cancelling the original’s effect. The original stays, marked Reversed.

You can add a Reversal note (optional); left empty, it reads “Reversal of …”. Use a reversal when the original already affected real balances.

Choose Void to mark the entry as never having happened — for example, an entry recorded twice. It stays visible as Voided, but no longer counts in balances or reports.

After the correction, post the right entry. The quickest way: open the original, choose Post similar, fix the amount or accounts, and post.

When approvals are on, reversals and voids also wait for another member with Maintain access or higher. Until then the original entry is unchanged. Only one correction request can wait per entry.

• An entry matched in a Finished bank reconciliation can’t be reversed or voided until an admin reopens that reconciliation.
• A locked period doesn’t change: corrections always arrive as new entries, never as edits inside it.
