Clear revenue recognition—AR or Order Entry

When you post revenue from a revenue recognition schedule, Intacct creates a journal entry in the applicable revenue recognition journal. To delete a revenue recognition journal entry that was created in error, you need to clear the row associated with the journal entry in the revenue recognition schedule. This action also resets the status of the row in the revenue recognition schedule to Open.

There is no "mass clear" function within the user interface. If you need to clear posted entries from many schedules using the user interface, you must open each applicable schedule and clear each entry. Alternatively, you can use Web Services to create an API function that will clear multiple posted entries. Learn more about Web Services.

You cannot clear the recognition if the period is closed. In this scenario, open the applicable period and then try clearing the recognition.

See Field descriptions in the Revenue recognition schedules topic for detailed information on each field.
