Step 1

Find the existing entry

  1. Search or filter for the entry
  2. Read its category, note and amount
  3. Use its row menu

Find the existing transaction and confirm that it is the right one.

Open that row's menu and choose Edit. This is different from the plus button, which starts a new entry.

Step 2

Correct the details

  1. Update the needed fields
  2. Keep the actual purchase date
  3. Review before saving

Change the incorrect details in the existing form, rather than recording the purchase again.

For this example, we correct the note and change the amount to five hundred and twenty.

Step 3

Save the existing transaction

  1. Use the offered manual access if needed
  2. Historical consent can apply
  3. Cancel writes no correction

Review and Save the edit, completing the manual-saving access offer if required.

Interest-bearing historical edits can ask how to handle posted interest. Cancel stops the change; follow the separate historical-interest guide when that question appears.

Step 4

Check the updated row

  1. Look for the corrected amount
  2. Verify the changed note
  3. No extra purchase was created

Return to Transactions and check the corrected five-hundred-and-twenty-rupee row.

The verified update changes the original entry without adding a duplicate. Use Refresh if the displayed list has not updated.
