Changing nominal code on purchase invoice

I posted a purchase invoice to the wrong nominal code. The invoice has been paid and has been included in a VAT Return. I don’t seem to be able to change the code as the transaction has been locked. Is there a way to do this or do I have to do a journal entry to reallocate the purchase?

You can’t edit the purchase once it’s locked by the VAT return but if you go in your chart of accounts to the nominal where it is currently posted and find the appropriate transaction there should be a “move to new code” option there. It has certain limitations but it may be sufficient for your case.

Great. Thank you Ian. That’s is exactly what I wanted to do.
