A journal returned for correction needs further work before posting. Open the existing request and read the review note so you can address the stated issue. Returning a journal is part of its preparation history and does not erase the work already recorded.
Compare the review reason with the supporting calculation. The correction may involve the accounting date, an account choice, an amount or an explanation that was too vague to verify. Update the editable request and check all lines again, including those that were not mentioned in the review.
Save the corrected draft before using the next available submit or posting action. If book settings changed during review, refresh the request and review it under the current settings. The earlier arithmetic result does not remove the need to check current account eligibility.
Keep the change attached to the same request where the workflow permits it. A new duplicate can obscure which version addresses the review and may later be posted separately. If the record is already posted, use its reversal and correction path instead of editing the original accounting lines.
