Once the Cash Receipts Journal has been updated, posting your deposit total to the Checkbook Register, the only way to correct a mistake has been to reverse out the original entries and re-post the payments correctly. A lot of times, this is easier said than done!
And while this method of correcting mistakes does leave an audit trail, a lot of times customers just want to get the right numbers in their system and not worry about leaving behind evidence of data entry mistakes.
We have recently added a new feature that will unfinalize an entire Cash Receipt Journal. This will delete the journal entries to Cash In Bank and A/R Trade (and any miscellaneous income accounts, if any) and reset the posting status on the cash receipts entries so that you may edit or delete them before re-updating the Cash Receipts Journal.
