• Copy a journal entry posted to an open or closed service call. If the service call is closed, the call is re-opened. 
• Copy a journal entry posted to an open job, if the journal entry was not created from the Job Transaction Entry window. If the transaction was entered in the Job Transaction Entry window, you will not be able to correct the journal entry in the Signature Transaction Entry window.
• Copy a journal entry on a closed job, however the job will not be updated. Closed jobs are not re-opened. If you are using divisional posting, the division expense account number (that the job was in) is credited. This is the Cost of Goods Sold account that was debited when the job was closed. The Transaction Date that displays on the Back Out Journal Entry is the original transaction date. 
  • If you want the correction to update the job, you will need to re-open the job before you correct the journal entry. 
  • If you should re-open the job after you've made the copied entry, the job will not include the copied journal entry. The re-opened job will be using the original journal entry.
