Operations Menu - Transaction - Swap Debit & Credit

This page describes the 'Swap Debit & Credit' function on the Operations menu in the Transaction record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Swap Debit & Credit' function is on the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon).

---

The 'Swap Debit & Credit' command will reverse all the postings in a Transaction, transferring all debit values to the Credit column and all credit values to the Debit column.

Reversing the postings in a Transaction will be useful when you need to cancel a Transaction by entering an opposing correction Transaction. To do this, find the erroneous Transaction in the 'Transactions: Browse' window, highlight it and select 'Duplicate' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or + menu (iOS/Android). A copy of the Transaction will be opened. Select the 'Swap Debit & Credit' function from the Operations or Tools menu to reverse the postings and save the new Transaction. The erroneous Transaction is now cancelled. Full details are contained on the 'Correcting Transactions' page.

You can only use the 'Swap Debit & Credit' function in a Transaction that you have not saved (i.e. when the window title is 'Transaction: New').
