Updated on

Vouchers with Status = Open, Held or Encumbered can be deleted/unreceived by selecting the Remove option from the Record menu when the cursor is positioned in any data field on the voucher’s Header screen.

  • Go to Purchasing > Actions > Voucher
  • Locate the voucher to be deleted and access the Header screen of the voucher
  • Click Record from the Menu bar and select Remove
  • The Delete Voucher screen displays for selection of the deletion options:

Asset

  • Delete Asset
  • Retain Asset

If fixed asset records were created from the voucher, select whether those assets are to be deleted or retained when the voucher is deleted.  

Posting

  • Use Expense Account
  • Use Refund Prior Yr Account 

When a prior year voucher is deleted, indicate which General Ledger account should be used for the reversing entry. Select "Use Expense Account" to credit the detail line expense accounts of the voucher. Or, select "Use Refund Prior Yr Account" to credit the Refund Prior Year Expense revenue account for the funds indicated on the detail line expense accounts of the voucher.

  • The account set up as Refund Prior Year Expense can be found in General Ledger > Setup > General Ledger Profile > Parameter > Account tab > Refund Prior Yr field, or General Ledger > Setup > Components: Fund. Choose the fund in question and go to Fund Accounts > Refund Prior Yr Expense field.
  • The reversing entry will automatically debit the AP Account for the funds indicated on the detail line expense accounts of the voucher.

GL Date

  • Indicates the GL Date the deletion will be posted to the General Ledger. This field defaults to the current system date when deleting a voucher and can be changed to a different date in which this deletion is to be posted.
