Deleting a Posting Run

Use

If, before posting a live posting run , you realize that it contains errors (either technical, or in the contents), you must create this posting run a second time. As the system has selected the payroll results that were evaluated in this posting run, you must delete the posting run to remove selection of the payroll results. It is only then possible for the system to evaluate the relevant payroll results a second time for posting to Accounting.

If you no longer require simulation runs for test purposes, it is a good idea to delete them.

Prerequisites

If you want to delete a posting run, it should not have any of the following statuses:

  • Documents transferred

  • Documents posted

  • Reversal documents transferred

  • Reversal documents posted

  • Reversal document creation is running

  • Reversal documents created

  • Reversal is running

  • Reversal was unsuccessful

  • Reversal documents are incorrect

  • Partially archived

  • Archived

Procedure

  2. Select the posting runs you want to delete.

  3. Choose .

A dialog box appears in which you must confirm the deletion procedure.

  1. Choose Immediately or Create job , to start the reversal or Cancel , to cancel.

Result

The result of the deletion procedure depends if you delete a live posting run or a simulation run.

  • If you delete a live posting run, the posting documents and index remain. The status of the posting run is set to Deleted. Selection of the payroll results is cancelled. This makes it possible for the system to evaluate these payroll results a second time for the creation of a live posting run.

  • If you delete a simulation run, the index and document lines are deleted. The status of the simulation run is set to Deleted. Only the document header remains.

You can delete the data from deleted live runs or simulation runs that is still on the database after this step, in a subsequent run within Archiving .
