One sided Journal Entry issue

Hi Guys,

Got one today that is completely outside my wheel house. Apologies if I get the terminology wrong, I’m not an accountant.

We have an issue where an RMA was entered on an order and somehow this has created a one-sided journal entry with only a debit and no matching credit.

This means they cannot post the journal as there is a variance.
They have apparently tried to undo this by getting rid of the RMA and recreating and trying various manual intervention and adjustments, but everything apparently creates a balanced debit and credit entry meaning it does not correct the variance.

Does anyone know how we correct this?

Searched and there’s a hit on here but it’s in the ERP10 category…Kinetic oughta be similar I suppose…anyway, this might help be a lead on how to fix the one-sided problem manually. (Would suggest waiting for a few more users to chime in as well.)

Thanks John will have a look into that.

Have also reached out to some people I know who are a lot more experienced with the finance side of the system than I am and the first one back said we will probably need a datafix from support

Was kinda hoping it was just a simple thing to adjust in some strange part of the system I’ve never used before.

Review Journal most likely a missing GL account tied to something is the most common cause of one-sided journal items.

We had this happen once. It was due to a GL not being set up for the Cost of Returns. Check that maybe?

Thanks guys, will pass this on to the finance team and see what they say.

If this is the case, how do we fix current stuck Journal ?

It was several years ago but if I remember correctly the Finance team was able to do a Journal Entry into that account after it was created. I don’t think we were able to back out the original RMA receipt that caused the issue.

Remove from review journal and fix the errant items missing GL code then just reprocess.
