Find journals within an accounting date range

Use From and To to narrow history without overlooking earlier or later corrections.

Updated 2026-11-11

The From and To controls narrow journal history to the accounting period you want to inspect. Start with the period of the underlying business event. A journal prepared or posted later may still carry an earlier accounting date.

Choose the company, set the date range and review the active status and account-type filters. If no entries appear, broaden the dates before concluding that the adjustment is missing. Search and status restrictions can narrow the same result further.

For a reversal investigation, inspect both the original entry's date and the reversal date. They can fall in different periods. A monthly view that contains the original but excludes the later reversal should not be treated as though the original has vanished from that month.

Exports use the current history filters, so check the range before downloading. Include the selected period when handing the file to another reviewer. If a saved draft is absent from history, return to the request list and check whether it has actually been posted rather than repeatedly expanding the date range.
