To correct an Nominal Ledger transaction, open the transactions via the transaction browse window, the select Operations Menu, option "Update Mark".

You will see that the system inserts your signature on the next free matrix line.

Post the correct account number and amount on the next free line after your signature.

The highlight the incorrect transaction row, by clicking with the mouse on the row number. This will highlight the row in blue.

Then press the "Back Space" key on your keyboard "<----", and the system will draw a red line through the incorrect transaction row.

If you then save this transaction, it will now reflect the corrected nominal accounts.

It is also a good idea to record a note as to why this correction was made. To do this, click on the paperclip Icon, and use Operation "Create Note". Type in some detail which will explain the update to this transaction. This is often required by auditors.

There is a Nominal Ledger report which allows all transactions with update marks to be printed out.
