Security

Choosing changeable or unchangeable transactions


 

You can specify whether your MYOB AccountEdge transactions will be changeable or unchangeable after they've been recorded. That is, you can choose either to edit and delete transactions that are recorded in your company file or to maintain a comprehensive history of all transactions you that you enter.

MYOB provides a security preference that you can use to set your transactions as changeable or unchangeable. (To learn if transactions are changeable or unchangeable)

Changeable transactions can be edited and deleted. If you notice a problem with a transaction, the transaction can be changed or completely removed from your company file if your transactions are changeable.

If your accountant has advised you to make necessary changes to your transactions, unmark the security preference.

Unchangeable transactions can only be reversed; they can't be edited or deleted after they've been recorded. If you notice a problem with an unchangeable transaction, you must record a reversal of the transaction to remove the effects of the original transaction from your records. Then, if you want, you can create and record a new transaction.

If your accountant requires that you maintain a strict audit trail, you should consider marking this preference.
