How can I unfreeze the books, and what are the implications of unfreezing?

If you need to unfreeze the books for a financial year, please raise a support request by emailing support@adda.io. Our backend team will review your request and unfreeze the books for the required financial year.

Implementation of Unfreezing the Books
Unfreezing the books allows changes to accounting data for the selected financial year. Before proceeding, please be aware of the following:
  1. Accounting transactions can be modified
    • Existing transactions such as invoices, receipts, journal entries (JEs), credit notes, debit notes, and other accounting records can be edited or deleted.
    • New accounting transactions can also be added.

  2. Financial reports may change
    • Any modifications made after unfreezing will be reflected in financial reports, including the Trial Balance, Income & Expenditure Statement, Balance Sheet, and other financial statements.

  3. Audit records may be affected
    • If the books have already been audited, making changes after unfreezing may result in differences between the audited reports and the current financial data.

  4. Reports may need to be regenerated
    • Financial reports that were previously generated or shared may need to be regenerated after the required changes have been completed.

  5. Use only when necessary
    • Unfreezing the books should be done only when there is a genuine need to correct or update accounting records. It is recommended to consult your auditor, accountant, or Managing Committee before requesting an unfreeze.

  6. Freeze the books again after making changes
    • Once all required corrections have been completed, it is recommended to freeze the books again to prevent any unintended modifications and maintain the integrity of the financial records.
