Bogus GL account reporting 0.00 Even though it's mapped correctly.

SUGGESTED

While correcting an improperly coded check, a slip of the finger accidentally created a bogus GL account. Even though it is mapped to the correct expense, it changed every transaction to 0.00 all the way back to 2011! The balances were hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. I was able to correct 2023 and 2024, but Sage will not allow me to correct any other past years. Insult to injury: We never got a warning that it would change previous, closed years. I'd be happy to journal a yearly total, just to get the history corrected, but Sage won't allow that, either! Any help with this? Trying not to have to restore from back-up since we'd have many, many transactions to re-key at this point.

    You can import into a closed year (not recommended prior to 1 year before your two open years, but possible). Not sure what you mean by "mapped correctly" and it's not possible for you (even accidentally) to change transactions in closed years. If you need additional assistance with this, we offer support services to review and address this situation with you.

    Thanks for your reply. I, too, thought it should be impossible to change transactions in closed years, but here we are! Also,  by mapped correctly, I mean the bogus G.L. account was set for Cost of Goods sold, but didn't report to the P&L as such. It removed the expensed amounts in all previous years and the totals now show 0.00 in our reports. I will have to call to try to get this resolved by importing, as you suggest.
