Issue/Introduction

If you XOG in transactions with the same group_id and some remain in Invalid Transactions either because the dates did not get selected when running Post Transactions to Financials or transactions are rejected, each time you run Post Transactions to Financials a blank voucher is created on transaction entry screen for each invalid transaction. 
 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 

1. XOG in 3 transactions for 3 dates. (11/9, 12/10, 12/11)
     Use the same group_id 
     The XOG will use the voucher on the last transaction in the xog file 
2. Validate they show in the 'Invalid Transactions' page

3. Run the 'Post Transactions to Financials' job, but choose only one of the dates (11/9) 
4.  The one transaction will be removed from Invalid Transactions as expected 
5. Check on the Transaction Entry screen that you see the one transaction you posted to financials is removed from the voucher 
6. Post to WIP 
7. Validate the Voucher is gone from the Transaction Entry page 
8. Run the 'Post Transactions to Financials' job for the same day (11/9) 
9. Transactions remain in Invalid Transactions 

 

Expected Results: No new voucher created in the Transaction Entry page. 

Actual Results: A voucher is created for each entry still in the Invalid Transactions page. Each time the 'Post Transactions to Financials' job runs, additional vouchers are created for each invalid transaction. 

Workaround: Fix all invalid transactions and/or do not select specific dates on Post Transactions to Financials job. Manually delete additional vouchers from the Transaction Entry page. 

Environment

Release : All Supported Clarity Releases

Cause

• When transactions are xogged and records remain in Invalid Transactions, each time Post Transactions to Financials runs a separate voucher is created for each transaction in Invalid Transactions. 
• Records that still remain in Invalid Transactions will have a corresponding blank voucher. 
• Each time Post Transactions to Financials is run the number of vouchers increases by the number in Invalid Transactions.

Resolution

• This has been reported as DE58877 and reviewed by Engineering.
• This is working as designed.
• We see that the ones that were blank do stay as it will only delete the ones that actually had entries and it is by design as you might still want to enter records into those vouchers.
• The header should go away if all items are posted in one shot.

Note:

• Voucher name is not a unique identifier.
• When Post Transactions to Financial job runs it creates a new record with that name but it would have different internal ID.
• As that record then Post to WIP it will have different internal ID but the Voucher names can all be the same.
