[Former Member]

Dear all,

We created an expense account but forgot to create it as cost element, some transactions were posted.

When user found that, he forgot to reverse exist postings, just create this account as cost element, then, he post some transactions afte that.

I do not know how to correct this mistake, would anyone help me?

Rgds,

Firstly,i should give you a advice.

you can customize a function that the cost elements is created automatically when you crate a new expense account. then the same mistake is impossible made by the users.

For your problem,you can reverse the exsiting incorrect documents,then post them again the cost elements documents will be posted automatically.

i think you only can reverse the exsiting documents,then post the documents again.

it's impossible if there is any documents belong to prevenient period.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

The exsiting documents are correct, we do not need to reverse it. The key point is how to correct some postings which before we create this account as cost element, these documents did not post to any cost object.
