Unpost
Journal Entries from the General Ledger
If your company is operating in batch mode or SmartPosting mode,
you can unpost journals to edit a batch of transactions. This feature
removes from the General Ledger all posted transactions from the current
period forward.
Note: If operating
on a network,
all users must exit the Sage 50 company before unposting journals.
To unpost journal entries to edit a batch of transactions
-
From the Tasks menu, select System, then .
If this option is not available, then your company is more than
likely set to Real-Time
mode, or you do not have access to this area because of settings in the User Security window.
- Choose which journals you want to unpost, or select
all.
-
To begin unposting, select OK.
When finished, all transactions
within the journals you chose (including transactions that are dated in
the current accounting period and future accounting periods) are temporarily
removed to the general ledger.
Note: Before
you can change accounting periods, you must post all journals.
To edit posted transactions without unposting journals
Sage 50 allows you to edit a single transaction in a past or future
accounting period without having to unpost the journal.
- In the task window, select the List
toolbar button.
- In the List
window, select Posted (or Both) in the Status
drop-down list; then select the accounting period where the transaction
was entered. Select Search to
display the transaction on the task window.
- Double-click a transaction to display it.
-
Enter your changes and select Save.
The transaction is automatically posted to the general ledger.
