Clearing General Ledger History

Use the G/L Clear History screen to:

  • Clear all information for printed posting journals.
  • Clear information for deleted and posted batches (up to and including the batch number you specify).

Warning! Information and statistics that match the criteria you specify are deleted permanently.

Clear history at the end of a fiscal year or as needed.

Before clearing printed posting journals, make sure you have copies of all posting journals you need.

To clear history:

  1. Open General Ledger > G/L Periodic Processing >  Clear History.
  2. If you want to clear printed posting journals, select Clear Printed Posting Journals and specify the posting sequence number through which to clear history.

    Important! After clearing posting journals, you can no longer print them. Make sure you have copies of all posting journals before you continue.

  3. If you want to clear deleted and posted batches, select Clear Deleted And Posted Batches and specify the batch number through which to clear history.
  4. Click Process.

    General Ledger clears all records that match the criteria you specified. If you cleared deleted and posted batches, those batches are removed from the G/L Batch List and from the G/L Batch Status report.
