- It can be difficult to delete a Custom Segment once it has been applied to the General Ledger.
- For Administrators, there is an option under Accounting Preferences (Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences > General > General Ledger > “Allow GL Custom Segment Deletion”) which will allow to delete them if you have Administrator permission.
- If need to revert the change in the future however, simply clicking the “Inactive” checkbox on the custom segment may be the best choice, since you can always come back and uncheck the “Inactive” option once again if desired.
