Locked journal entry - can't edit it

I have a journal entry which has become locked. It says it is linked to a parent journal but when I click through that journal isn’t locked. I deleted all the year end journals for that year but it still remains locked. I need to change the description - the journal is auto generated and has the wrong month/year in the description.

My account is 6131401180 the journal is: 07/02/2017 April 2016 Pension

Thanks

Hi @TonyLeach

It looks like this journal in question is an automatic reversal from the one dated 07/04/2016. There’s more info on these in the knowledge base, but the following part should be of some help:

But I can’t edit the date, the journal is locked!

Ah, got it. I needed to clear the auto reverse date on the parent, that worked. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I should have made it a bit clearer to avoid confusion! Glad you got it sorted though :slight_smile:
