Deleting general ledger component values

To customize general ledger information for your business needs, you can delete a component value that is used in general ledger account codes.

Procedure

  1. In the Chart of Accounts application, select the organization for which you want to delete a general ledger component value.
  2. Select the GL Component Maintenance action.
  3. In the GL Component Maintenance window, click Mark Row for Delete for the component value that you want to delete.
  4. Click OK.

Example

After you delete a general ledger component value, general ledger account codes in existing database records that use that value are not changed. For example, a work order uses a cost center value of 6500. If you delete 6500, the work order keeps this number as the cost center.
