Journal entries belong to one legal company. If the page asks you to choose a company, select that company in the sidebar before opening a draft or reviewing posted activity. An organization with several companies can show different account lists and journal permissions for each one.
- Check the company name against the source document for the adjustment.
- Open Journal Entries after selecting that company.
- Confirm that the entry date, currency and ledger accounts belong to the selected books before preparing an entry.
A saved link also needs the correct company context. An unavailable linked request does not establish that the journal was deleted. Return to the correct company's journal list and open it from there. If the company is absent from your sidebar, ask its administrator to check your membership instead of preparing the adjustment under a different company.
Keep adjustments for separate companies in their own books. A matching account name in another company does not make it the same ledger account, and an entry saved under the wrong company cannot be corrected by changing its memo.
