Correcting Journal Import Data
If your Journal Import run resulted in relatively few errors, you can correct the data that was rejected by Journal Import. After making your corrections, you can rerun Journal Import to create journals from your corrected accounting data.
If you encountered a high number of Journal Import errors, you should instead delete all of the import data for your journal entry source and group ID, correct the errors, and repopulate the GL_INTERFACE table before rerunning Journal Import.
Prerequisite
Review the Journal Import Execution Report and note the Request ID and Group ID of the Journal Import process that encountered invalid import data
To correct Journal Import data:
1. Navigate to the Correct Journal Import Data window.
Each of the fields in this window corresponds to a column in the GL_INTERFACE table.
2. Query journal import data that you want to correct. You can only query journal import lines that have a Status of Error or Corrected. Enter a Source, Category, Accounting Date, Group ID, or Currency to help you locate the journal import error lines.
3. Use the alternative region poplist to choose the type of information in the journal import line you want to correct.
- Choose Batches/Journals to correct journal batch and journal entry data.
- Choose Accounts to correct the segment values for your account segments.
- Choose Journal Lines to correct journal entry line data, including the Value-Added Tax descriptive flexfield.
- Choose Descriptive Flexfields to correct segment values for the descriptive flexfields Journals - Journal Entry Line and Journals - Captured Information.
- Choose References to correct reference information for your Journal Import data.
4. Correct the invalid accounting data.
5. Save your changes. After you correct an error journal line and save your changes, the Status changes to Corrected.
6. Choose Import Journals to return to the Import Journals window.
