Reclassify Expenses: On Bills Even If They're Posted and Paid

Reclassify Expenses: On Bills Even If They're Posted and Paid

Users don’t have to create complex adjusting journal entries. Users don’t need to Unpost or UnReconcile bills and payments.

Even if a bill is already paid - and even if the payment has cleared the bank - you can fix the expense categorization on the original bill. 

The reality is: everyone makes mistakes when expensing bills.  Usually no one notices until the financial are posted.  Then, someone is looking at the Profit and Loss vs Budget, and they see some expense account that seems “out of whack”.

Now obviously, users can’t change something in a locked period (unless your CFO unlocks the period) - but this gives a simple way to fix mistakes. Because darwin Cloud has complete and detailed audit logs, if you ever need to know who fixed the entry.  All the audit details are saved too!
