You cannot reverse frozen subledger journal sources

When reversing a posted Journal or batch if you get this error message, it means the journal source for the subledger journal is frozen.

This is an intended functionality in R12.

To reverse the journal you need to unfreeze the subledger journal source.

 

Navigation:

General Ledger – Setup – Journal – Sources

Query for the source of your journal

 

Select the pretended option from the ‘Freeze Journals’ list of values.

• Yes: Journals from this source cannot be changed in the Enter Journals form nor the Journal Correction form. In addition, you cannot reverse journals with Subledger Accounting journal sources that are frozen.
   

• No: Journals from this source can be changed in both the Enter Journals form and the Journal Correction form. In addition, you can reverse journals with unfrozen Subledger Accounting journal sources.
  

• Journal Entry Page Only: Journals from this source cannot be changed in the Enter Journals form but can be changed in the Journal Correction form. In addition, you cannot reverse journals with Subledger Accounting journal sources that have this option.

Change the value to ‘No’ & save. Now the system will allow you to reverse the journal.

 

Note:

After reversing the journal, freeze the subledger source (i.e.) change the value to ‘Yes’. If not frozen this will allow users to reverse subledger sourced journals at will, causing reconciliation problems between general ledger and the subledgers.
