Edit a payment?

[Jacqueline Greenleaf]

I’m doing it the non-formal way.

I used the “Process Payment” function, and while I see the transaction in the transfer account I used, I don’t see how to edit it. Neither double-clicking on it nor selecting Edit on the menu gives me anything I can edit. I suppose a related question is how would I void a transaction.

But in formal accounting, transactions made in error are never altered, just as would be the case in the old fashioned days of pen and ink on paper (in bound books). Instead a correcting/offsetting transaction would be entered with the description field used to note that it is correcting an error.
