Rederive

Select the Rederive fields to change an existing entry/registration (such as a time sheet line, expense sheet line, or general journal line). If you select a field for a dimension, Maconomy resets the dimension value prior to the rederivation, so that Maconomy always derives a new value for that dimension. This is especially useful if you have selected the system parameter Complete Dimension Derivation at Registration, as Maconomy then derives the same dimension value in an update, as if you have entered the same information when you create a new entry.
