Why did my general journal entry not purge?
Description
Cause
Resolution
A general journal entry will not purge if one of the following is true:

  • The transaction date is greater than the purge-through date.
  • The transaction is related to a job that cannot be purged.
  • The transaction uses a general ledger account that requires reconciliation and the transaction has not been reconciled.
  • The transaction is a reversing entry, in which case both the original and the reversing parts of the transaction must be able to be purged. So, for instance, if the reversing transaction covers an open accounting period, neither part of the transaction would be purged.
  • The transaction was reconciled after the purge-through date.
