Fixing an Incorrect Purchase/Receive Inventory Entry

Peachtree v. 9 user.

Last month I somehow made an incorrect entry through the Purchase/Receive window. I had set up a new vendor and when I went to record a purchase to that vendor, Peachtree entered the A/P account as the same account as the G/L account. In other words, instead of recording the credit portion of the transaction to the 20000 Accounts Payable account it recorded it to the G/L expense account associated with the vendor. Thus I now have both a credit and a debit to the G/L expense account. Furthermore, a couple of subsequent purchases from other vendors also got recorded as credits to that same G/L account.

I've since paid those vendors. Apparently once they have been paid there is no way to fix these entries short of a general journal entry. If I change the accounting period to last month and open the purchase/receive window, call up these transactions, they are marked "Paid in Full". I can't delete the transactions and I can't alter the transaction using the Journal. Is there any way to fix this other than making a general journal entry after the fact?

To fix the A/P invoices note the detail of the payments. Then edit the payments to be not applied to the invoices ($0.00 check amount). Once the checks are edited you can fix the invoices. After all of the invoices are fixed edit the payments to be applied to the invoices again.

Do not delete the checks, fix the invoices and renter the checks as this will cause the checks to become uncleared in the reconciliation screen.
