I agree with you @Swordbooks , this is a woeful oversight. I had an issue with a set of books where prior bookkeepers relied way too heavily on automatic rules to book transactions. There should be ways to do bulk corrections on transactions that have already been added to registers--or if nothing else, a way to UN-add them to registers so they can be placed back in the queue for handling.
When QuickBooks makes it so easy for users to create problems like this, it should make it equally easy for administrators to fix them.
