old transactions

[AC32]

not outstanding but still appearing in financials transaction list, but not in any module except the nominal account activity. How do I get rid/archive them.? Year end procedures have been followed re audit trail/archiving.

They are probably part of a chain for transactions, paid by something that part paid something else, the other part of which had not been paid at the end of the financial year so because it had to be kept all the other transactions linked to it including this very old one is kept.

I have a client who is paid amount son accounts from which invoices are deducted and none of these chains every get completed and the audit trail never clears.

To get around this at year end we entered a closing balance transaction on each account matched everything off and then entered a reversal of that as an opening balance transaction. I did it with tools as she had many hundreds of accounts. However if it is only a few accounts you should be able to do the same thing manually.
