Deleting a budget journal entry

You can delete a budget journal entry if it has a status of Unreleased. Use this procedure to delete budget journal entries created in the Budgeting application.

A budget journal entry must have a status of Unreleased before you can delete it. You can change the status of a History entry to Released. See Backing out a budget journal entry. Change the status from Released to Unreleased using Budget Journal Control (FB45.1) .

You cannot recover budget journal entries once they were deleted. Deleted budget journal entries leave no audit trail. If you want an audit trail, then copy the original entry and reverse the values on Additional Information (FB40.4).

See Copying a budget journal entry.

Select the Delete line action and the Change form action for selected budget journal entries on Budget Journal Control (FB45.1).
Note: Another option is to use Define Budget Journal (FB40.2) to inquire on the entry and select the Delete form action.
