Rejecting Consolidation Journals

After a Consolidation journal is submitted for approval, or approved, you can reject it. After you reject a journal, the status changes to Working.

The journals that are available to reject are based on your role and the journal status.

Table 9-6 Status of Journals Available to Reject

Role	Status of Journals Available to Reject	Journal Status After Rejection
Create	Completed	Working
Submit	Completed, Submitted	Working
Approve	Completed, Submitted, Approved	Working

After a user has taken an action on a journal, only the next user with the same access can reject it. If a journal is in Completed status, the user who performed the Complete action cannot reject the journal. If a journal is in Submitted status, the user who submitted it cannot reject it. A different user with the same access can reject the journal.

Journals that are Auto-Posted after Approval cannot be rejected as they will have a Posted status.

If email notifications have been set up, a notification email about the rejection is sent to the users who performed the Submit or Complete action. If the Reject action was performed on a Submitted or Approved journal, the Completed user (if the journal was completed and submitted) or Submitted user receives an email notification. If the Reject action was performed on a Completed journal, the Completed user receives an email.

Note:

To enable or disable email notifications, see Setting Up Email for Notifications.
