Abstract

A web service for automatically determining accounting entries that are affected by the deletion of a journal, formulating reverse accounting entries, and sending the reverse entries back to the source system is described. The service can use transaction identification keys to map and track which accounting entries are affected by the deletion of the journal. The web service can use extensible markup language (XML) among other formats.
