We set the #1320 the same way for 3 companies in Sage. It works for the other 2 companies, but not for the 3rd company. Can anyone help?

Do you have a lot of windows that are open. If so close all windows?

Did you give permission to work in both years?

How do you intend on changing the entry from 5700 to  1300?

Hi Ottawa,

It works now! We found that #1320 was a linked acct. Then we removed it from the links. 

Yes, I am still available to work in 2 years.

By editing the entry.

Thanks for your help!

So you made the change because you removed the linked acct. Did you put it back?

In the first instance : I entered an AP purchase bill for Dec. 31, 2020 in Jan. 2021. I had recorded it in expense acct #5700 originally.

The transaction should have been modified at the source and not in the general journal????

Right, at the source. I opened the AP purchase invoice page, the same as the image above. 

Not to write a GL entry.

I removed #1320 from the vendor's linked acct boxes then it works.

It's to change in the AP Purchases bill entry.

Ok

But the route that you took in the first place was with VEndors & Purchases. ???

yes

Then it has  to be undone at that level.

Undone? 

To edit, not undone

If you used Vendors & purchases to make a wrong entry, you have to do the correction at that level. The purchase transaction is still there and it si wrong.

See the yellow box here to edit:

Did you use the yellow sections to make the changes?

If you did not and went in the General Journal  to make the change then your records will be off

click the red pen in yellow area above to activate Edit mode, then you can change the acct. #.

The Post to save the change.

yes
