Correct records entered on the wrong date or trading day.

Wrong dates can make reports and daily balances look incorrect.

Steps

  1. Find the record with the wrong date.
  2. Open Edit if available.
  3. Change the date to the correct business date.
  4. Save the record.
  5. Check the old and new report periods.

Why this matters

  • A sale entered on the wrong day can make one day look too high and another day look too low.
  • An expense entered on the wrong day can affect profit for the wrong period.
