You can change the period ending date, journal, or account for your transactions to move them from one period, journal, or account to another.
You can use the Activity Log to analyze transactions that should be moved, for example, transactions entered to a closed period or written to the suspense account.
To move transactions:
1. Select Move from the Write Up menu to open the Move Transactions screen.
The screen is initially blank except for the fields in the Select Criteria panel.
2. Use the Period and Journal drop-down lists in the Select Criteria panel to specify criteria identifying the transactions you want to move.
The Period and Journal fields are required.
You can also select an individual account in the Account field, or leave this field blank to display all accounts for that journal and period.
3. Click View to display the transactions that match your criteria.
The list of transactions matching your criteria appears, with information organized into columns identifying the date of the transaction, the reference number and description, the account, the amount of the debit or credit, and any memo entered for the transaction.
4. Click the checkbox in the Selected column to select the transactions to change.
You can use the Select or Clear buttons at the top of the Selected column to select or clear all transactions.
4. Click Move.
The Move Transactions To dialog appears.

§ Select Account to change another account.
§ Select Date to change the transaction date.

The To field changes depending on the radio button you select.
