Editing transactions after the fact ?

[David T.]

Yes. You can always edit a transaction after the fact--even after closing the books. Of course, if a transaction has been reconciled, or the books closed, then something else will go out of whack--but the changes can always be made. The transaction date doesn't change.

Gnucash will verify that you want to change a reconciled transaction.

Subject: Editing transactions after the fact ?
 
I've never used gnucash.

Provided that one has not "closed book" on an accounting period, can
one go back and edit past transactions ?

Lets say I paid a bill from a checking account and debited phone
expense.   Lets say I later found out it was supposed to be utility
expense.   Can I, after the fact, change the account on the
transaction from phone expense to utility expense ?  Does the posting
date on the transaction change ?

Thanks
