Changing the Unpost Journal Date for Business Units

When you want the flexibility to change the unpost date for a journal entry, access the Journal Options page for the business unit and select the Allow Different Unpost Date option. This makes the Unpost Date field available on the Mark Journals for Unposting page.

The date in the Unpost Journal Date field is used as the journal date for the unposting entry. By default, this is the same as the original journal date; however, if you have selected the Allow Different Unpost Date option, the field is available on the Mark Journals for Unpost page and can be changed to a new or different date.

If there are related journals, the date entered must not be the same as the journal date for related journals, such as reversal, interunit, or suspense correction journals. This can cause duplicate entries which can then cause the unpost process to fail.

Note:

For interunit journals, all business units must have the Allow Different Unpost Date option selected on the General Ledger Definition - Journal Options page if you want to change the journal unpost date. If one business unit does not have this option selected, you receive an error message.
