What MAJA does for you

  • In one step: voids the FTA bill (its number stays in the register), reverses the settlement journal with today's date (the original is kept), and unlocks the period.
  • The filing stays in history marked UNFILED, with who unfiled it, when and why.

Good to know

  • If anything blocks the rollback, MAJA refuses and changes nothing: Unfile refused: … — nothing was changed.
  • After correcting the documents, calculate the period again and click Mark Period as Filed.
  • A month in the Periods tab that sits inside a filed return shows Unfile to modify; unfiling is the only way to unlock it.
