Description of Issue
Why am getting the 'You do not have privileges to delete the current journal.' error when deleting a budget amendment in proof?
Where is the 'Delete' button to delete budget transfer in proof?
Context
- Budget Transfers And Amendments
- Accounting Entries
- User Attributes
- 11.3 and below
Cause
The General Ledger permissions Update own journal entries and Update other's journal entries are required to delete journal entries
Resolution
To grant the user permission to delete:
System Administration > Security > User Attributes
- Click Search, and enter the User's ID
- Click Accept, and this will bring up the user's Roles
- Highlight which Role that you would like to edit, and then click Edit Roles (may affect multiple users)
- Click on the General Ledger section
- Click Update
- If this user was the one who originally created this Budget Amendment, they will need the permission "Updating own journal entries" checked in order to update that Budget Amendment. If a different user created this Budget Amendment, this user will need the permission "Update others' journal entries"
- Once you check the proper permission, click Accept
- Reopen Budget Transfers and Amendments to retry update
Additional Information
- Also see: "You do not have privileges to add a detail record" error when updating a Budget Amendment
- In 2017.1 and above the Delete button is removed if the user does not have permissions in place
