You cannot delete any G/L entries posted in NAV/Business central system.
Only way is to reverse transaction or post an opposite entry through journal.

Reverse transaction button is available in the General Ledger Entries page. Select the entry You want to reverse, and press the button. It will open a new page showing all the entries connected to this document number/transaction and it will reverse all of them together.

Deleting consolidation GL entries isn't a straightforward process. Typically, once entries are posted, they remain in the system for audit and compliance reasons. However, you can manage them by either reversing the consolidation entries or starting a new Consolidation Company if necessary.

If you run consolidations for a date range that its already been run for, the system will automatically zero out the previous entries. This is essentially your reversal, the system does it for you. So you could run consolidations multiple times for the same entity for the same date range.

Hello,

In Business Central, consolidation G/L entries cannot be deleted once posted, as this ensures financial data integrity. To correct or remove these entries, you can either post reversing consolidations from the business units to offset the original entries or, if the data is significantly flawed, create a new consolidation company to start fresh. While a custom extension could technically delete entries, it's not recommended due to audit and compliance risks.
