Why are certain transactions Non-Editable?

If you see the words Non-Editable in the Status column of a transaction, this means you cannot change it. Next to the words Non-Editable will be a letter which corresponds to one of the below reasons you cannot change the transaction.

(a)

In order to keep your books as accurate as possible, we code all cash withdrawals (ATM, bank withdrawals and cashiers checks) as Distributions, and they need to stay this way. Even if you withdrew the cash from your business accounts to pay for a business expense, we can’t directly code this cash withdrawal as an expense. We need to know the exact amount paid, and to whom, so we can have accurate data when we issue your 1099s at year end. So for all cash purchases, please provide these details using your Add Transactions sheet, which is linked in your Review Checklist that you receive every month. We will then add those expenses to your books, offsetting the Distributions account by the exact amount of the expense.

(b)

These are transactions that occurred before the date you hired us to do your bookkeeping. If you want to edit those older transactions, ask our Support team about having us go back and auditing those months.

(c)

These are journal entries that were made to your books in order to adjust certain balances, which is a common bookkeeping practice. Examples include entering starting balances for bank accounts or loans that originated before we started your bookkeeping, or perhaps adjustments provided by your CPA for tax purposes. Regardless, you will not be able to see the details of these entries  in your Transaction Detail sheet, nor can you edit them there. But you should have received an email from us with an explanation and detail of this adjustment. So if you have any questions about this transaction, please reply to that email, or send our Support team a new email with any questions you may have.
