REVERSE POSTED JE

Use this screen to create a reverse journal entry of a previously posted journal entry. After you specify the journal entry number, journal entry type, and the subperiod in which the entry was originally posted, the screen creates a journal entry in the subperiod selected. You can then edit and post this journal entry in the normal fashion.

You can use this screen to reverse all six types of journal entries: Adjusting, Recurring, Reversal Adjusting, Reversal Recurring, Project Transfer, and Multi-Job Allocations. This includes journal entries that were created through separate processes such as the Compute Cost of Goods Sold Entry and the Compute Multi-Job Allocations screens in Costpoint Cost and Revenue Processing. The journal entry created is always an Adjusting type. When you create the journal entry, the system assigns it the next sequential journal entry number.

If your firm's accounting operations policies include segregation of duties, perhaps to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or it has otherwise decided to require that journal entries be approved, you can use the Approve Journal Entry feature. In that case, you can use the Approve Journal Entries checkbox on this screen to override other journal entry approval settings and approve the reversal of a journal entry that was originally approved for posting.
