A proposed reversal can be declined when it should not be applied and your current review access permits that decision. Open the reversal request and inspect the original journal, proposed date, opposite amounts and preparation reason before deciding.
Choose the available decline decision and enter a specific review reason. Explain the issue, such as the wrong original entry, unsupported correction or a date that needs a different treatment. A useful reason helps the preparer determine whether to stop the work or prepare a revised request.
Declining an unposted reversal does not change the original posted journal. That entry remains in the ledger until an authorized, valid correction is recorded. Do not describe a declined request as though the original amount has been reversed.
Check the saved reversal status after the decision. If the response is uncertain, refresh the same request before taking another action. Where the original entry was generated by a source workflow, use that source's correction process rather than trying to force a manual reversal outside its recorded lifecycle.
