The Find Transactions window allows you to search for previously recorded transactions in
Peachtree. You can enter as many search criteria you want using the information you have
on hand. Note that this window also allows you to drill down to view individual transactions in detail.
You can use a range of Peachtree lists to find the transactions you want. Please bear in mind that
this way of searching is not as direct as using the Find Transactions window as set out above.
Nevertheless, those lists
are handy if you want to keep track of a company’s inventory, customers, vendors, and
employee records. From the Peachtree lists, you can also drill down to original transaction
information and view maintenance records in detail.

change. Note that Peachtree restricts changes that can be made to certain fields in a window
if there are transactions applied to it. For example, you cannot easily change the customer ID in
a fully paid sales invoice but we will nevertheless teach you how to do it in Peachtree using
additional steps.
If you are using Sage Peachtree Complete Accounting 2011, we recommend you to
