Hi, I have submitted and approved an expense claim in Xero.
The expense claim had an item that was mistakenly approved with "GST 15%" when it should have been "No GST". The expense claim amount is correct, but the GST content is wrong.
I want to complete GST return now - how do i fix this mistake? Magic journal entries or some other way?
Thanks!
Tony.

Do you have a lot of receipts on the claim - would it be a big job to do this?
Otherwise yes, if you're comfortable with manual journal entries (and have access to do one) then you can correct it that way. Enter it on the same date as the bad receipt to make sure you're clearing it out in that period.
If you need it, here's the help for manual journals: Add or edit a manual journal
