What should I do if I accidentally roll forward a ledger to the wrong period?

Period roll-forwards in Dimensions are irreversible. Once a ledger is rolled to the wrong period, there is no in-app way to undo it. The options below are the only corrective actions available.

Corrective actions

You have two options:

Option 1 — Restore the database to a previous backup

  • Submit a restore request to your system administrator or support team. Specify the approximate time the roll-forward occurred so the correct backup can be identified.

  • Best suited when a large number of transactions are affected. Be aware that restoring the database reverts all data to that point, and any other changes made since the backup will be lost.

Option 2 — Manually correct affected transactions

  • Use the Corrections module to manually adjust the affected Debtors transactions to the correct period. Confirm each correction posts to the correct nominal accounts.

  • Best suited when the number of affected transactions is small. This option requires careful attention to ensure all corrections are accurate.
