General Ledger - Intercompany Unpost

Note: Multi-Entity functionality is for cloud customers only.

Overview

The Intercompany Unpost screens are available if your system has multi-entity accounting enabled (see Setup Multi-Entity). Administrators must first set up the intercompany relationships on the Setup Multi-Entity Associations page.  

This intercompany unpost process is used to undo previous intercompany posts. Unposting a previous post will permanently erase any evidence of that post.  When running an intercompany unpost, there is no audit trail showing that the original post occurred nor will there be any audit trail that an unpost occurred. This process will delete journal transactions, general ledger entries (if created), and unmark the originating transactions. These transactions will then be available to participate in another post process.

Note that items posted to a closed fiscal period cannot be unposted.

Intercompany Unpost Process

When an intercompany post is unposted, all journal transactions and general ledger entries related to that specific post are removed from the Unanet Journal and General Ledger. That is, we do not add new entries to reflect a reversal of the original post, but rather those entries that were originally added to the Unanet Journal as a result of the posting activities are simply deleted. There is no audit entry added to the system to reflect that the original post or unpost activity occurred.  

Those items having been unposted will be available to be included in a subsequent post.

Note that items posted to a closed fiscal period cannot be unposted.

 


Unpost Feedback

Once the post is run, you will see feedback written to the screen that will indicate the entries included in the post.  If any unexpected issues are encountered, additional details will be written to the screen for the affected entries. Note that any entries that encounter an error during the unpost will not be unposted.  Other entries within that same run that did not encounter issues will be unposted.
