Article summary

I used the wrong expense account in my admin voucher.  How do I fix it?

Answer:
Most AP reporting involves only reporting on outstanding items or on who the check was paid to.  As a result, you have three main choices on how to fix an admin check:
  1. Make journal entries to move the expense and cash from the wrong accounts to the correct ones.
  2. Void the check, create and post a debit memo and create a new voucher with the correct information and apply the same check number
  3. Void the check, create a debit memo that fixes the issue and apply a new check.
