You are trying to explain to an accountant that account override is an adjustment feature of Subledger Accounting. Which TWO traits can help you…

Account override in Subledger Accounting is a corrective feature that lets an authorized user replace the default account on a sub-ledger journal line.

• While performing the override the user must enter a “Reason for Account Override,” providing business justification (trait A).

• The original journal is kept in read-only status and the system creates a corrected journal, thereby maintaining a complete audit trail (trait C).

Override never changes the source transaction itself and can be done before posting, so traits B and D are not applicable.

B. Override changes only the accounting representation; the originating transaction data in the external system remains intact.

D. Corrections can be made on unposted, completed journals; posting isn’t a prerequisite.
