Journal entries

How entries work, and why a posted entry is reversed instead of edited.

Every transaction in AXO creates a balanced journal entry, where total debits equal total credits. Most are created for you — by invoices, bills, payments, payroll and stock movements. You can also post manual journals for adjustments.

Why you can't edit a posted entry

A posted entry can't be changed or deleted. To fix a mistake, reverse the entry and post the right one. Both stay in your records, along with who did what and when.

That's what makes your records trustworthy: anyone reviewing them can see exactly what happened, corrections included.

Reverse an entry

  1. Open the entry.
  2. Choose Reverse. AXO creates an equal and opposite entry.
  3. Post the corrected entry.
