Withdrawal closes an unposted manual journal request when the adjustment should not continue. It is useful for work that was prepared in error or is no longer needed. The request remains in history with its withdrawal reason rather than disappearing without an explanation.
Open the correct company and inspect the journal's status before choosing Withdraw where available. Confirm that the request has not been posted and explain why it should stop. Use a reason that identifies the duplicate, changed source or other specific circumstance.
A withdrawn request does not remove an amount from the posted ledger because that request was not posted. If an equivalent adjustment was already posted through another entry, inspect that entry separately. Withdrawal of one draft does not reverse another journal.
If Withdraw is unavailable, current permissions, status or source ownership may prevent the action. Generated journals can require their originating workflow. For a posted manual entry, review the reversal controls. Verify the saved withdrawal status before preparing a replacement so both requests cannot proceed unexpectedly.
