To reverse a financial batch

Parent Previous Next

The procedure to reverse a financial batch is as follows:

  1. Navigate to Quick Menu > System > Configuration > Financial Batches. The Financial Batch List window is displayed, revealing a list of financial batches in the Financial Batch List summary table.
  2. Double-click on the row containing the specific batch to be cancelled. The Financial Batch window is displayed, revealing the unique Batch ID number and all associated account postings.
  3. Click on Reverse Batch. Equal and opposite transaction postings are created for each ledger account code value contained in the original batch.
  4. Click on Close. The status of the financial batch is set to Reversed and the total value is updated to zero 1.


Note

1 Only batches with a status of 'Posted' can be reversed.

2 To uphold transaction audit integrity, it is common practice to submit a financial batch that has been reversed, capturing the original and reversing entries.
