Reverse entries with realized gain or loss

Completed

In Business Central, you can use the Reverse Transaction action to create reverse entries for erroneous journal postings. The reverse entries are identical to the original but with an opposite sign in the amount field.

You can only reverse entries that are posted from a general journal line. An entry can only be reversed once. If you want to reverse customer or vendor ledger entries, they must not be applied.

You can run the Reverse Transaction action from the following pages:

  • General ledger entries

  • G/L registers

  • Customer ledger entries

  • Vendor ledger entries

  • Bank account ledger entries

You can use the Reverse Transaction action to reverse payments that were applied to entries that originated in foreign currencies and were adjusted using the Exchange Rate Adjustment batch job. The feature works for both purchases and sales.

When reversing foreign currency payments, it’s important that realized gain or loss entries are also reversed.

The following video demonstrates how to reverse a foreign currency payment.
