Error made in amount on a journal entry - realize error after posting. Need to be able to reverse without re-entering data.

I would love to see a "void" journal entry. But, we would need to be able to select the void date.
It would be great to be able to back out/reverse an GL JE in an open period without having to book an extra entry to reverse the original out. Saves cluttering up the GL.
Absolutely agree with all of the comments below. This is needed as soon as possible and is pretty standard with most ERP products out there.
I think the question has become why has this requested update for reversing journal entries been passed, deferred, or ignored after all this time. Should these requests have a field for a reply from programming, at least annually to ensure it hasn't fallen off their radar?
Agree

YES!!!! This is desperately needed! I agree with Jordan Davidson and everyone else that has posted on here...let's get this done and move along!
In addition, create a Void Journal entry process similar to voiding checks
Over 5 years old. Let's implement a solution and move along. This should be an easy fix. Pull up the posted journal entry and have a button you click that says reverse. Sure, require a password, but let's get this solution put in place.

I think they merge stuff so we can't keep track of how slow they are in responding. This is desperately needed in all modules.
ProContractor when is there going to be an update on this, as many people have pointed out this is the only system that does not have this feature and is long overdue.
How much longer is this going to be "In Review"? Why hasn't anything been developed? This suggestion has 238 votes. Items with less votes have been developed and implemented.
It is totally to long to get this. You could reverse journal entries in Management Suite, why not here. I also agree. Any item out here over 1 year is uncalled for. Just another reason so many of us feel Viewpoint really doesn't care if they give us what we had in Management Suite or American Contractor.
Totally agree with you - this program is more for a company like Cisco or Apple – for a smaller company it is so overkill on everything.

Unless it has been censored, there is a long-standing suggestion for this under "Employees/Payroll".
Happy to speak with any of you about this - 609-561-3800 x-13.
Please support 4-up W-2's!
Michael Lerner, do you have a suggestion for this? I will definitely vote for this as well as system printed 941 Forms!
1. If a Journal Entry is made in the ledger - the ability to "find" that transaction and tell the system to reverse it (assuming the same accounting dates?)
May not always use the same dates. We need to keep that option open upon discretion of the accountant. Anyone who is asking this question should already know how to "find" the transaction/originating entry and should know its original mode of entry with the reports available. We want to be able to pull up the JE by the original JE #, click a button to tell it to reverse.
2. For changes that have occurred from Payroll, AP, AR, etc should be done in the originating place (to keep the systems in balance) but to make it easier to make those adjustments/corrects in the original source applications.
I think confusion on this came from a previous comment. If we create a JE affecting any account (incl PR, AR, AP) we should not be restricted in reversing any JE created. I do not think anyone is asking to pull up an AP originating entry through the JE function and reverse/void it there. That is the concern I'm gathering from your questions. This is simply void/reverse a Journal Entry created through the JE function.
YES definitely want to make adjusting in those applications easier and more forgiving.
I am in total agreement that this is absolutely needed for journal entries, and for other modules as well provided that AR, AP and payroll details are affected exactly the same way at the same time.
Since there is such an attentive audience here, can I enlist all of you to support four-up W2 forms on blank perforated forms? Had it in Management Suite and lost it. Should be something available in any accounting software package, but we don't have it. If you've never used four-up W-2's, you don't know how much easier it makes your life at a very busy and difficult time of year.
There is a topic for this under payroll that I would urge you to support.
Thanks!
Appreciate the feedback. To make sure I am interpreting this correctly:
1. If a Journal Entry is made in the ledger - the ability to "find" that transaction and tell the system to reverse it (assuming the same accounting dates?)
2. For changes that have occurred from Payroll, AP, AR, etc should be done in the originating place (to keep the systems in balance) but to make it easier to make those adjustments/corrects in the original source applications
No worries! I see a glimmer of hope that they are working on this and do not want it to fade away by the lovely misunderstandings of non-verbal communication! :)
