How to delete unposted transactions so I can close financial period

Hi There, 

 

Can anyone help me figure out to remove an unposted GL transaction? I originally made a gl transaction for Dec 2022 that was auto-reversing in Jan 2023, before I had ‘Opened’ the Jan 2023 period. I released it and realized my mistake and the entry became ‘unposted’. I opened Jan 2023 period and made a new GL entry in it’s place. When I tried to close the December 2022 period, I got a message that I still had unposted transactions. I’m not sure how to get rid of it? I don’t want to reverse it because the reversal of the reversing entry will now ‘Post’ that Jan is open and it won’t have the initial entry to clear it out.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks!

Vanessa

Hello, To Post a transaction. go to Financial → Processes → Post Transactions screen.  Select this batch with the checkbox to the left side, and click Process.

      HI @vanessa54 

      What is the current status of the transaction? Can you share a screen shot of it? Thanks.

        Hello @vanessa54 ,

        If you’re not able to delete the Unposted transaction in GL Journal Transactions screen, the next step is to Post the batch in GL Post Transactions process screen. Then you may reverse the recently posted reversal batch, or reverse your manual GL entry that was made in its place. I recommend reversing the manual batch, leaving the two related batches; they are correctly connected to each other.

          Hi @laurabarber08 @kandybeatty49 

          Thanks for the replies! I thought about posting/reversing the unposted transaction but I don’t know how to ‘Post’ it, though. I’ve already released the transaction and the Release button is now grayed out. The only option I have when I click on Actions is to Reclassify or Reverse the transaction. I could Reverse the transaction and I’m assuming that would successfully post now that January is open, but I’m afraid my original unposted transaction would still remain unposted, so the reversing transaction wouldn’t have an original txns to clear it out.
