Deleting General Ledger Entries cause of posting to different G/L Account

Posted on by Karldjaw 152

Hi,

I have known that Dynamics NAV has the "Reverse Transaction" function in order to correct already posted journal entries but is there a way to just correct them and make them gone from the General Ledger Entries? Cause when our other division wanted to check the Credit and Debit of the accounts separately and reconcile them to our bank accounts, it will show up as un-match reconciliation because of the addition of "unwanted" entries on the account.

Thank you!

Karl Steven

    You should not delete your gl entries. You will have problems with your system and audit later.

    Try to prevent the mistake on the first place.

    I am aware that we have to prevent the mistake on the first place but human error is inevitable. So the only way is to reverse the transaction? is there any other way?

    I have this requirement too. I was trying to delete it with an extension it is giving me an error that The effective permissions are missing. When I am forcing the permissions from the code it shows me conflicting permissions,resulting in an alert that the user license does not provide such deletions.

    Karl,

    Adding to what Teddy wrote... As an Accountant and NAV/BC Implementer, never delete G/L History or a transaction. You should always reverse the transaction and correct it, if necessary. As for the other Divisions and reconciling your Bank Account, I reconcile to the Amount, not individual Debit and Credit columns, since they total to the Amount.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
