Copying a journal entry

Use this procedure to copy an existing journal entry to create a new one that is similar. For example, you can create a reversing journal entry. You cannot delete interfaced entries from Global Ledger. You can create a copy of an interfaced entry and reverse the transaction amounts to offset the original journal entry. You can copy a journal entry that is in any state, including Posted.
