Use these procedures to adjust project transactions by using journals. In journals, you create an adjusting journal entry to reverse all or part of the original incorrect transaction, and then add a new transaction that contains the correct information. When you adjust project transactions by using an hour, expense, or fee journal, the reversing transactions are posted as corrections in the general ledger.

Prerequisites

Before you can complete the procedures in this topic, you must take the following steps:

  1. Click General ledger > Setup > General ledger parameters. In the Ledger area, on the Accounting rules FastTab, select the Correction check box, so that transactions that have negative amounts can be posted as corrections in the general ledger.

  2. Click Project management and accounting > Setup > Project management and accounting parameters. In the left pane, click Journals, and then, in the Ledger posting field group, select the Negative transactions - corrections check box, so that journal transactions that have negative amounts can be posted as corrections.
