Deleting a Ledger Transaction

You cannot delete a ledger transaction directly. To delete a transaction:

  1. Enter a journal transaction for the opposite amount and the same date as the transaction to delete.
  2. Post that transaction to the ledger to cancel out the previous transaction.
  3. Use the Compress General Ledger Transactions utility to compress the general ledger.
Note: 

If you have deleted material transactions, any Ledger or Journal records that reference them will have their references cleared. If you try to view detail on a ledger or journal and the specific material transaction has been deleted, you will be told the record is not available.
