Well, in a sense you do.
All you need to do is to enter the correction as a fresh entry on whatever
date you want the entry to record. I haven't researched it, but I
assume that the previously entered transactions can always be changed
(that is, no way to "lock" them after being cleared), but you can
certainly issue a corrective entry. Did that myself recently, when
the manager of a mutual fund I own shares in issued a correction.
Rather than go back to the original entry, I just entered the correction
as it came from the fund manager, using the date the fund manager
did. This corrected all the balances as of the later date.
