Corrections

Review and manage adjustments with the corrections report.

The corrections report provides an overview of any adjustments made within your accounting period. This report ensures that any amendments to previous entries are documented and accounted for, maintaining integrity and accuracy in financial records.

Corrections report displays corrected ledger entries, ensuring the accuracy and transparency of your accounting data. Corrections occur when changes are made to ledger entries in closed accounting periods. These changes are due to:

  • Data import for past transactions
  • Adding, updating, and deleting chart of accounts mappings or rules
  • Modifying revenue settings
  • Bug fixes introduced by Revenue Recognition system upgrades

To allow corrections to backdate to their original periods, reopen the closed accounting periods with accounting period control.
