Voiding and Deleting Overhead Journal Entry

To void or delete overhead journal entry, you use the Review and Recalculate Overhead program (P09J100). If the journal entry is posted, the system voids the journal entry. If the journal entry is not posted the system deletes the unposted journal entry.

Voiding a Journal Entry

You can void a journal entry that is created and posted for the overhead amount. The system then marks the transaction status as Journal Entry Voided in the overhead calculations table (F09J100). At the batch level, the system reopens the batch, and therefore the batch must be posted again.

Deleting a Journal Entry

When the journal entry is not posted, then the journal entry will be deleted from the table, and it does not leave an audit trail. The journal entry field information will be cleared from the F09J100 table. You can delete a journal entry when the F09J100 record is in the status Process Complete. You cannot delete a journal entry that is associated with a F09J100 that has the status Journal Entry Creation Error, as there is no journal entry that has been created for it. After you delete a journal entry using the P09J100 program, the system automatically changes the status to Available to Process, and enables you to include the transactions in new journal entries.
