Releasing and unreleasing individual journal entries

When a journal entry is released, all associated transactions are released. The journal entry must be in balance for the functional and reporting currencies before a journal entry can be released. Use this action to release selected journal entries even if they have a hold code.

If Auto Balance is selected on Accounting Entity, then the functional and reporting currencies are auto balanced when the release action is selected.

If Balance By Transaction Currency is selected on Accounting Entity, then each transaction currency must be in balance before the journal entry is released.

  1. Select Processing > Journal > Journals.
  2. Select the journal entries and select Actions > Release. The selected journal entries are moved to the Released or Pending Approval tab.
  3. If the Unrelease Manual Journal check box is selected in Accounting Entity, then you can unrelease manual journal entries after they have been released. On the Released tab, select Actions > Unrelease. Only journals that are created online can be unreleased.
