Reverse Journal Voucher

When you reverse a JV, some of the information is copied from the original journal voucher but the debits and credits are reversed. The reversed journal voucher is intended to cancel out the charges in the original journal voucher. By submitting a reversed JV, you are effectively clearing out the original JV. You have the option to keep or change the existing field values. You can also delete some of the line items.

After completing the fields, park or complete the journal voucher. The new journal voucher is assigned a document number.

Note: When reversing an FY document from a previous fiscal year and period, reset the new document to the current fiscal year and period, and change the document type to SA.

Document Header Fields

Company Code: Select the company code.
*Document Date: Either the receipt date from the source document or today's date (mmddyy). For FY documents, enter 06/30/yy (yy = fiscal year that just closed).
Posting Date: Defaults to today's date for creating journal vouchers. For FY documents, enter 06/30/yy (yy = fiscal year that just closed). When you change a journal voucher, the field displays the date the JV was posted.
Reference: Text for your reference. When correcting a JV, it is useful to include the document number of the JV you are correcting. Note: This data is included in the search results when searching for parked journal vouchers and in the first part of the Description field on the Detail Transaction Report.
