Editing and deleting Broker transactions

Step by step

1. 1Select Edit and correct the date, action, quantity, amounts or settlements. A decimal quantity or fraction you entered remains recognisable in the same notation when reopened.
2. 2Check the updated preview. An earlier purchase can change average cost and the results of later transactions. The combined preview shows the affected changes and any effects on group valuations.
3. 3Enter a requested allocation if the quantities or results coming from a group are ambiguous. For missing information, completion feedback points to the fields to check.
4. 4Confirm the change. Opening the form or viewing the preview does not change postings. After changing input, check the current preview again.
5. 5Select Delete to reverse a transaction. Again, check the effects before confirming. If a later sale would use more units than are available, first correct the relevant transactions; an impossible position is not saved.
6. 6A correction financially affecting a closed year cannot be processed immediately. Reopen the relevant financial year through Fiscal years, then make the correction. Use View journal entry to read the associated posting.

What is on the screen?

• Current transaction details
• Related settlements
• Effects on later postings

Editing updates the current transaction without adding a second active copy. Deletion removes substantive transaction data and related posting lines. A minimal deletion record and necessary financial change history remain. Events can be found in Activity; there is no separate Previous versions screen.
