Finding the Original Journal ID for Expense Reports, Cash Advances & Vouchers in NUFinancials

This job aid explains how to find the original journal ID associated with various transactions in NUFinancials.

Find the Original Journal ID

Do you need to complete a Correction Journal or a Correction Agency Journal? Do you need to locate the Original Journal ID that NUFinancials requires? It all starts on the GL008 Revenue and Expense Activity Report! 

• Run the GL008 for the chart string that contains the transaction that was incorrectly posted to the General Ledger.
• If the Transaction Type on the GL008 is Journal, then the GL008 Transaction ID is the Original Journal ID. Look no further!
• If the Transaction Type on the GL008 is not Journal, you must either drill to detail on the GL008 or use NUFinancials inquiries (Accounting Entries). Affected Transaction Types are expense report, cash advance, and voucher.

Find the original Journal ID by drilling to detail from the GL008
