Find and recode transactions

Move transactions coded to the wrong account, or tag them for tracking, many at once.

  1. Find
  2. Tick
  3. Recode

Coded a year of software to Office supplies? Find and recode moves them all in one go, without editing each invoice, bill or bank line.

How do I recode transactions?

  1. Open AccountingAdvancedFind & recode.
  2. Pick the Account they're coded to now, a date range, or search a description.
  3. Tick the ones to move, or Select all.
  4. Choose the new account in the picker that says Keep the account.
  5. Choose Recode.

What stays the same

The GST on each line stays as it was. Bank, receivables, payables and GST lines can't be recoded, and nothing in a locked period can be.

How do I tag transactions with tracking?

Same steps, but use the second picker (Keep tracking) to choose a tracking option. You can change the account and the tracking together, or just one.

Why can't I see this screen?

It changes transactions that are already posted, so only the owner, an admin and your accountant can use it. Everyone else sees a note saying so.

Every recode is written to Recent changes on the lock dates screen.
