You can edit transaction detail items on account ledgers or journals to correct or adjust complex transactions (security permitting). All changes automatically affect corresponding cross-items, and related accounts and reports are instantly updated. However, if an account ledger item and/or the corresponding cross-item are reconciled, and your Edit Reconciled Items option is set to no, changes are prohibited. In this case, changes are permitted if the item and/or cross-item are first unreconciled.
If you change the description or amount of a transaction detail item, the change is reflected in the corresponding cross item. If you change the name of the cross account by editing the account name field, the cross item is deleted from the old cross account and added to the new cross account.
You can move transaction detail items anywhere on the transaction detail table, provided the table is sorted in line (interactive) order:
Make sure the transaction detail table is sorted in interactive order (v or ^ will appear in the title of the Line column). If the table is sorted in another order, click the title of the Line column to sort the table interactively.
Activate any field in the first transaction detail item you want to move.
Issue the command Block>Start.
If you want to move a block of items, activate any field in the last item you want to move and issue the command Block>End. (NOTE: If you only want to move one item, issuing the Block>End command is optional.)
Activate the line in the table above or below which you want to move the item(s).
Issue the command Block>Move>Insert to insert the item(s) above the active line or Block>Move>Append to insert the item(s) below the active line.
You can delete items from transaction detail tables by activating any field on the item and issuing the Edit>Delete command (security permitting). Both the item and the corresponding cross-item are removed. The effect of these items on all related accounts and reports is undone, as though the transaction detail item had never been added in the first place. To delete an entire distribution table, delete the item representing the transaction detail on the account ledger.
You cannot delete a transaction detail item if the transaction or cross-item transaction is reconciled at the account ledger level, and your Edit Reconciled Items option is set to no. In this case, the transaction and/or cross-item transaction must first be unreconciled before the transaction detail item can be deleted.
