Weekly Dynamic: Duplicate A Journal Entry

So lets say that last month you keyed a one-time journal entry that was a 100 lines long. Then next month, you find out that "one time" means "again this month" and "with a few changes". Is there an easy way to key it again? Even with a few changes?

Sure!

Open up a new Journal Entry and hit Correct. Follow the prompts and find or key the JE from last month selecting Back Out and Correct. When done, you'll have 2 JE's, the backout entry and the correction entry. Delete the backout JE. Now all that you have left is a correction JE that looks just like last month's entry, has today's date and will let you make changes.

Easy enough. Just don't forget to delete the backout entry!
