Can you change the effective date on a Capital Asset transaction? 



Context

Capital Assets 



Cause

Informational



Resolution

There is no functionality to change the effective date on a posted transaction.  Instead:

  1. Process an offsetting transaction using the incorrect effective date to essentially reverse the transaction.  Using the same incorrect effective date that was used for the original transaction ensures the amount will go in and out of the GL on the same day.

  2. Re-process the original transaction using the correct effective date



Additional Information

If other transactions were processed after the transaction with the incorrect date, each transaction starting with the most recent one will need to be reversed until the incorrect one has also been reversed.  Then each transaction will need to be reprocessed again.
