Problem
Deleting or modifying a 'locked' record
Cannot find Unlock Record command
in Goldenseal
accounting software
Diagnosis
Unlock Record is no longer (1.07 and later) available in shipping vsns of Goldenseal.
It is very dangerous and easy to mis-use.
So is deleting or modifying locked records improperly.
If you absolutely have to, then be sure to follow the changes thru the entire 'paper trail'
- see Comments section.
Solution
a) Modifying a Cost: open the trans, select Payment Trans in View menu. Change: Reconcile
Date to None and Status to Void, post. Modify and post the Cost trans, then revert the payment and post.
To modify Labor Hours, change both payment and Payroll Record.
b) Modifying Income: open the trans, select Payment Trans in View menu. Change: Reconcile
Date to None and Status to Void, post. Modify and post the Income trans, then revert the payment, post.
If there is a Pmt Receipt in the trail, that will show up as the payment trans, select Deposit trans
there to get to the deposit. The Pmt Rct needs to be changed and reverted too.
These are the 'paper trails':
For Cost transactions: Cost trans-> payment transaction.
For Payroll: Labor Hours-> Payroll Record-> payment transaction.
For Cash Sales: Sale-> (Payment Receipt)-> deposit transaction.
For Billed Income transactions: Billing Records-> (Payment Receipt)-> deposit transaction.
NB: Payment Receipt is optional when depositing.
