Understanding Recognition Versions and Record Removal

If you run the R51800 program in final mode and find that the results require changes to the values in the Account Balance table (F0902) using job progress entry or journal entries, you can remove the profit recognition records and regenerate them after you make the desired changes. To remove the profit recognition records from tables F5144 and F5145, you must run the Remove a Recognition Version program. When you run this program, you specify the version that is associated with the records that you want to remove. If you want to remove records for a specific job only, you can also specify a job number. The system removes records for the version and job specified only when the Record Requires Regeneration field (G7ZFU1) in table F5144 is set to Y. If the value of this field is N, journal entries have already been generated for the version and you cannot remove it.

Important: Do not delete the unposted journal entries. Post the journal entries, enter the revisions, and rerun the Profit Recognition Build program for the same period. The system creates journal entries for the incremental differences only based on the changes that you make. You can also post the journal entries, void them, post the voided entries, enter the revisions, and rerun the R51800 program for the same period.

After you remove the profit recognition records and make the necessary changes, you can rerun the R51800 program to regenerate profit recognition records.
