Time Entry delete causes GL mess up

We have our jobs set to auto receive to inventory on final operation and I have had several incidents where a labor/time entry was made to complete the required qty but for some reason or error the time entry had to be deleted. This deletion caused the created inventory to be issued back to WIP and a second time entry to that same job resulted in a $0 transaction and the $ issued back into WIP is never moved to inventory. How to handle this?

If the job is still open I might try

  • a new labor record to trigger the auto-receive.
  • and sometimes I find it easier to turn off the auto-receive in the Job/Op

If the job is closed, I might try a job adjustment to the Op.

Note, just to be safe, I often copy Live over to Test and verify all my corrective steps.
Because… I’ve seen people just start trying “things”… which results in a bunch of transactions that are REALLY confusing, make it harder to unravel.
