Cancel Transaction

Posting is a fraud control feature in MoneyWorks to prevent editing once the account has been finalised. You cannot modify a transaction once it has been posted. However, you can use the Cancel Transaction feature (from the Command menu) to correct the error.

Cancel Transaction

By cancelling, it does not delete the transaction. Instead, it creates a reverse entry to correct the mistake.

For example, you entered a purchase invoice twice. You can use the cancel transaction method if the error is still within the current period. The system creates a reverse transaction to correct the duplicate error.

However, if the mistake falls in the past period, then you should consider entering a credit note or journal in the current period to correct an error made in the past.
