If the wrong incorrect information has been entered into an Expenses Entry Expense or an Express Payment, you are able to reverse it provided the transaction has not yet been paid. .

Info
titleExpenses that have been paid

If an Expense has the Status of "Paid" or "Partially Paid" the payment must be reversed before the expense can be reversed. Refer to Reversing a Payment

Express Payment entries will automatically reverse the expense and payment journals though.

(Unsure if this is still the case) If the period in which the incorrect Express Payment Entry was entered has been closed, it must be corrected by Journal entry. See Processing Journal Entries for information on how to complete this. The journal will take the following form:
DR: Bank account the expense was paid from for the full amount of the expense CR: Expense account entry originally expensed to for the amount net of GST, ensure tax category is 'Not Applicable' 
CR: GST Tax Paid for any GST, ensure tax category is 'Not Applicable'

If the period in which the incorrect Expense Entry was entered has been closed, it must be corrected by processing a negative Expense Entry. The original entry must be reversed exactly with a minus sign '-' in front of the Amount Payable and the amount in the allocation gridreversal. 


In Expense Search, the original expense will now show a Status of "Reversed", and the reversal entry shows the Status of "Reversal".
