I have a transaction that I entered incorrectly. Is there a way to determine the date & time that the transaction was entered? If so, I could just load a backup file created just before I screwed up.
I know that in formal accounting one should not delete transactions, but apply a reversing transaction. But I think that will just confuse me, and my accountant more. I don’t need to be too formal - previously I have submitted my accounts to my accountant on a spreadsheet, but that’s too error-prone for my liking. If I delete the transaction, would that put things back exactly as they were before the transaction was entered? I spent about 20 minutes last night trying to understand how £14 had disappeared from the company bank account, clearly marked in the bank account that the money went to PayPal, but there was no record of the transaction on the company PayPal account. I eventually found what had happened - it had gone to my personal PayPal account. There’s no way I would have spotted that error using spreadsheets. The double entry accounting does make finding errors easier than using a spreadsheet. I must admit, I am quite impressed with GnuCash.
