Editing Transactions

You can edit unposted transactions if you have the correct access rights. Posted transactions have been committed to WIP and can only be edited using the WIP corrections/transfers function. For more information, see Selecting WIP Transactions for Correction.

If you have access rights to edit or delete released transactions and access rights to enter transactions for the given type, staff, and date, you can edit or delete items with a released status. A released transaction's status will not change if it is edited. The transaction must be released before it will be added to the WIP.

To edit a transaction in the Daily Entry window, do the following:

  1. Open Dashboard, click Application Links on the navigation panel, and then click Time transactions under Time Capture.
  2. Select the staff whose transactions you need to edit.
  3. Select the date to display in the grid. Enter text in the box. As you type, matching results display. If there is an exact match, it is highlighted in the grid. For more information, see Using Advanced Lookups.
