EJL - Recall Posted Document for Correction
What is EJL
EJL is the only program that can be used to amend/correct the accounting details of posted documents i.e. amounts, accounts, currency, document date... any details may be amended.
On saving the changes any differences between the original recalled document and the corrected screen contents creates a new document identified with either a different document prefix e.g. EJ or with suitable narratives on the same document type as the original document. The original document remains unchanged except for the match marking (000). The combined effect with the correction document will reflect the correction needed. This allows the user to hide the original and reversing bad entries on an account, especially in the production of statements.
It is important to remember that a document reversal for a different currency or different document date will create 2 new documents, the first document will reverse the original transactions (000 marking) and the second document will produce the corrected transactions.
There are several common reasons for error correction, e.g. wrong currency, wrong document date and these are handled on a block basis for correction i.e. select the reason and replacement value and the complete document is reversed and re-keyed for posting by RPP. The alternative is to edit, i.e. make individual changes e.g. wrong accounts or amounts.
Archived transactions can be corrected but the accounting period for the reversal and new postings will be the oldest open period. Transactions that have been matched can not be corrected unless the match code is removed. Please note that archived transactions that are matched can not have their match code removed.
