Voucher Deletion, Closure, and Unposting

You can delete, close, and unpost individual vouchers using the Delete Voucher, Close Voucher, and Unpost Voucher pages. Deleting a voucher removes the voucher from your system irreversibly (although the voucher remains in the voucher tables marked as deleted, and thus available only for audit trail purposes). Closing a voucher "writes off" the remaining liability on a voucher that you are not going to pay. And unposting a voucher reverses the accounting entries that have been posted to the voucher accounting entry tables so that you can modify the voucher (usually just distribution line information) and repost.

To unpost, close, and delete a selected set of multiple vouchers at once, use the Voucher Mass Maintenance component (VCHR_MASS_MAINT).

Note:

When you close vouchers that are associated with purchase orders, and/or you have installed Commitment Control, the system performs specific closure logic that can also restore encumbrances for fully paid vouchers. This functionality exists only for the voucher close component; you cannot restore encumbrances for vouchers closed with the mass maintenance component.
