Delete a Journal Entry

You can only delete a journal entry if the Journal Entry Approval Process has been enabled. You can only delete journal entries with a status of Working or Rejected, as they do not yet affect the General Ledger balances. If a journal entry is in Approved or System Approved status, however, you can void it if necessary. Use caution when deleting a journal entry, because the action cannot be undone.
