Note: An example of this is, an owner paid their January 2024 invoice in December 2023. The payment is currently going toward your 2023 yearly income numbers, but you want it in 2024 instead. Journal entries would be used to fix this issue.

Take special care when choosing to do this. Typically if you are running on a cash basis, you should be recognizing revenue when you are paid cash, not at another time. If you are running on an accrual basis, the system will log revenue according to invoices, and this action will be unnecessary.
