There’s a ‘lock’ next to a transaction that I need to edit, what does this mean and why can I not edit the entry?

If you hover your cursor over this lock it will provide a tooltip to explain why this transaction is locked. It could be locked due to the following reasons:

1. It may form part of a locked financial period (in other words a financial period lock date has been set in company settings and no transactions before that lock date can be edited).
2. It could be part of a closed VAT period. In order to edit this transaction you would need to reopen the relevant VAT period (which requires user access changes).

If the user is unable to unlock the period they would be required to process manual cashbook entries to correct the transaction.
