The best way to do that is to make an adjust entry noting the error and why the correction is being made. For example, if I paid Rent for 500 and say I made this journal entry.

Insurance Expense (debit) 500

Cash (credit) 500

I would adjust the entry by making this adjusting entry or something similar

Rent Expense (debit) 500

Insurance Expense (credit) 500

to remove the payment of rent that was inadvertently recorded as insurance expense and correct the rent expense account.
