Journals and corrections

VexLedger never edits or deletes a posted entry. If something is wrong, you reverse it. The reversal is linked to the original, so the full story stays in the books.

• Company journals (Accounting › Company journals) post entries to the legal entity’s ledger. Add a Journal memo, the lines, and optionally the brand the activity belongs to.
• Brand journal (Accounting › Brand journal) lists the entries posted in the brand you are working in and lets you reverse them.

Every journal must balance: total debits equal total credits.

1. Find the entry and select Reverse entry.
2. Choose the Reversal date and enter the Reason for the correction.
3. Confirm. A reversing entry is posted, linked to the original. The original shows Reversed and the new one shows Reversal.

• Only balanced, unreconciled entries can be reversed.
• If an invoice or bill has payments against it, you see Reverse payments first: reverse those before reversing the document.
• Entries in a closed period are restricted. See Closing a period.

The Audit events section lists every accounting change that has been recorded, with who made it and when. It is append-only: entries are never removed.
