Entering transactions in the 13th period

To enter a transaction for the 13th period, enter an asterisk (*) in the Date field before you enter the transaction's actual date. For example, if you want to place a transaction in the 13th period and want to indicate that the transaction was an adjustment for a transaction you originally entered on September 9, 2004, enter *9/9/04.

If you simply want to place a transaction in the 13th period and the actual date doesn't matter, you can enter any date after the asterisk. Regardless of the date you enter after the asterisk, that month's accounting records won't be affected by the entry. (Entering transactions in the 13th period)
