Delete a journal

Summary

How to delete your journal entries in Sage Sole Trader.

Description

Accountants use journals to correct errors, make adjustments, or for accounting-based tasks:

  • Record depreciation and profit or loss on the sale of assets
  • Write off bad debt
  • Move values between ledger accounts

Journals can affect your HMRC tax calculation and other financial reports. 

CAUTION:

We recommend that only accountants use journals.

  1. Go to Sole Trader.
  2. From Draft or Completed transactions, select Actions on the journal row. 
  3. Select Delete, then a further message will show. 
  4. If you're sure, select Delete journal.
