How do I go about fixing part of a GL subledger batch that went to period 2 when it should have gone to period 1? I had set my retrieve sub-ledger batch setting to "specific period" by mistake.
We do have Dakota Toolkit and could fix it that way but wonder if I could unpost a batch, correct it and repost? I've never use that feature and wonder if there a consequences to using it? I would choose the "delete entries from posted" I think.
Thanks

Hi KNoel,

If the retrieved batch with the incorrect fiscal period has not yet been posted, you can copy it to a new batch, which includes setting the correct period and 'moving' the original batch with the wrong period, which essentially deletes it.

If the retrieved batch with the wrong period has been posted, then indeed the Unpost Batch function is appropriate in this case. depending on your audit trail requirements, you can delete the details of the originally posted batch, or create a new batch that nets to original posted values to zero, then you post a new batch for the correct details.

Here is a short video on how Unpost batches works. It needs to be enabled in the Company Profile in order to use it.

Thanks for the video, it confirmed my thoughts on how to proceed.
Always a helpful group!
