Reversals
Use this function to launch an automatic reversal processing on a set of journals selected by the user depending on a number of criteria.
Use this function, especially at the beginning of the fiscal year, to globally reverse all the stock count MO of the previous fiscal year.
All journals, either simulation or actual journals, can be reversed. The "Reversal" field in the journal entry function only needs to be set to "Yes", and a reversal date, added.
See the documentation on journal entry for further information.
For each reversal, a journal will be generated. The journal thus dealt with will have their "Reversal" fields set to the "Reversed" value.
When a journal is processed, all the ledgers containing this journal will be impacted.
When the Fixed assets are managed, the journal reversal will result in the Expenses automatic generation, provided that the required setup is implemented (see the Journal entrydocumentation for further information). The list of expenses then created is included in the log file generated at the end of the reversal processing.

Selection criteria
The selection of journals to be reversed is made according to several criteria:
- Company,
- Site,
- Document type,
- Journal type,
- Journal,
- User.
These criteria can be used to restrict the selection of journals to be reversed. It is not however mandatory to enter all these fields. By default, the system selects all the journals having the "Yes" status.
Date ranges are used to refine the selection. The reversal date specified on journal entry is the date that is taken into account. Note that the operation will only be valid if the relevant fiscal year and accounting period are open.
Generation
The accounting journal type generated during this processing is the same as the type of the original journal.
At processing level itself, it is possible to select the reversal method to use:
- Based on the journal sign: the journal is generated by debiting the credited accounts in the original journal and by crediting the debited accounts in the original journal
- Based on the amount: The allocation sign of the original journal is kept but the amounts are recorded with a negative sign.
The "Log file" flag can be selected to display a summary of all the generated journals at the end of the processing.
Criteria
| All companies (field ALLCPY) |
Enter the company code for which the processing has been started.
The company code:
- must necessarily refer to a legal entity,
- must necessarily be entered if the box "All companies" is not checked.
Select this check box to include all sites. To run this process for a single site, leave clear.
Enter the site code for which the processing has been started.
It is mandatory to enter this field if the box "All sites" is not checked.
Select this check box to include all types. To run this process for a single type, leave clear.
it is possible to enter a specific journal type in this field when the box "All journal types" is unchecked.
If this box is checked, all journal types are taken into account for the operation.
Enter the journal type. It must be of the same type as the journal linked to the selected journal type.
It is mandatory to enter this field if the box "All journals" is not checked.
The journal type is used to group journals based on common characteristics mainly linked to the nature of the operations that will be recorded in it:
- Sales,
- Purchasing,
- Cash,
- Miscellaneous Operations,
- Analytical MOs,
- Carry forward entries.
Some processings and controls depend on the journal type:
- the "carry forward entries" journals can only record journals associated with the "Carry forward entries" period",
- the "ana. MO" type journals can only record journals assigned to the "analytical" category.
- a cash account must be attached to each "cash" type journal so that the entries posted in this journal have an automatic counterpart. A cash-type journal is used:
- in the A/P-A/R accounting module on payment posting,
- in the automatic journals.
The setup of the cash journals is specified in the Definition of the journals, journal types and accounts on payments documentation.
Six journal types have been allocated to the miscellaneous operations:
- values 4 and 5 for the General Accounting,
- values 8, 9 and 10 for the Analytical Accounting,
If the box "All journals" is checked, all types of journals are taken into account for the operation.
Here, indicate the journal code comprised of one to five alphanumeric characters.
Upon creation, the journal is automatically open for all the specified periods.
The journal selected here must be of the same type as the journal linked to the journal type kept in the previous selection criteria.
It is mandatory to enter this field if the box 'All journals' is not checked.
Select this check box to include all users. To run this process for a single user group, leave clear.
The current user will be used if the user/group code is blank.
Ccode of the operator that carried out the process.
It is mandatory to enter this field if the box "All users" is not checked.
