Move GL Control Number

GlobalWare enables you to quickly move a control from one date to another. For example, if you entered a journal entry on the wrong date, you can move it to the appropriate date. By doing this, you can avoid redundant data entry.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the dates are within the same accounting period.

To move a control:

1. On the GL submenu, click Move GL Control Number.

   The Move GL Control Number screen appears.

2. In the Control Number field, type the number of the control you want to move to another date.
   Note: Number is validated to ensure the user has access to the branch from/to which the control number is moving.

3. Click OK.

   The screen changes, showing the current control date in the Move From field and changing the OK button to SAVE.

4. In the Move To field, specify the date to which you want to move the control.
5. Click SAVE.

Note: Moving a control to another date changes the date in the general ledger only, not in the subledgers. For example, if you move a bank deposit control, the cash receipts’ dates are not changed and reports, such as Aged Receivables, have the original date. If you need to change the subledger dates, you need to void the item or make adjustments in Adjust Accounts.
