Filter journal history by posted or reversed status

Use the status control to understand which entries are included in a history view.

Updated 2026-11-11

Journal history includes posted entries and retained reversed entries. The Status control lets you choose Posted and reversed, Posted or Reversed. Select the view that answers your question before comparing the list with a report or searching for a correction.

A reversed entry remains part of accounting history. Its later reversal can have a different accounting date, so reviewing only one status can hide part of the sequence. Open the relevant entry to inspect its lines and linked reversal information.

If an expected item is missing, clear the status restriction and check the company, date range and account-type selection. Draft journal requests are managed separately from posted history, so a saved unposted draft will not appear merely because you selected all posted statuses.

When downloading history, confirm the status filter first because the export uses the selected view. Explain that filter when sharing the file for review. A reversed-only export can be useful for correction work, but it is not a complete list of every journal that contributed to a reporting period.
