If you are part way through entering a transaction, you can erase it and start again by choosing Erase [...] from the Edit menu.

Sometimes, however, you may need to make changes to or delete a transaction you have already recorded. A transaction can be changed or deleted only if it is changeable. A changeable transaction has a white zoom arrow () next to it.

To check if transactions are changeable, make sure the Transactions CAN’T be Changed; They Must be Reversed option is deselected on the Security tab view of the Preferences window. Note that when you install your AccountEdge software, this preference is not selected.

If you want to maintain a strict audit trail, you should consider making transactions unchangeable. You can select this preference at any time. An unchangeable transaction is identified by a grey zoom arrow () next to it.

If you make your transactions unchangeable, you need to reverse a transaction to cancel its effect on your accounts—see Reversing a transaction.
