I don't know if there's a law but if it makes the data reflect what
actually happened I would suggest that any law that subverts that
shouldn't be a law. I do it from time to time as needs arise.

Subject: Silly Question

Hi gang,
can someone tell me if there are any laws against changing data in a
database. I had a shipper put an incorrect date on the shipment date and
the only way for me to correct the issue is to go and change the date.
The problem is that the batch has been closed and invoices have been
sent out on it. I just want to know if there's any laws on auditing or
anything that I can reference to not do this? I'm trying to make a case
against careless data entry.

Thank you,
