The Scenario of Correcting Transactions in Sage Accounts
Any audit trail in the transaction is made up of Non-Critical and Critical Fields. It generates certain postings when any transaction is corrected depending upon the transaction status whether you amend it or not.
Here is the list of Critical and Non-Critical Fields
Critical fields | Bank, Bank A/C, Date, Net, Exchange and Tax Rate, N/C (Nominal Code) and Tax Code (T/C) Exceptions: Foreign Traders – The Exchange rate is only amended on foreign currency and transaction. V21 Sage Accounts and Below – Critical Fields can’t be edited in Journals. |
Non-critical fields | Reference, Department and Details. Example: Bank Rec. Date and Bank Reconciled Flag. |
Steps to Make Corrections in Critical Fields
💠 It takes original detail to make a new deleted transaction.
💠 The Amended Transaction accompanies the original transactions.
💠 If you use VAT Reconciled Transaction to amend any critical field, a new transaction will be posted to reverse the outcome of the first transaction (it can be original transaction). There can be some other transactions with complete and authentic details.
