Once a manual reversal is posted, Prepare correction can create a new draft linked to the original journal and its reversal. Use this when the business event still needs to be recorded with corrected accounts, amounts or other supported details.
Open the posted reversal's history and choose Prepare correction where available. Review the proposed draft rather than assuming every original field remains appropriate. Enter the correct accounting date, reason and balanced lines, then save the draft.
The correction does not post merely because it was prepared. An authorized poster can post it directly or use the available review path. The editor prevents a correction date earlier than the linked reversal date, so assess the reporting-period effect before confirming.
If a correction already exists, use Open correction to continue that record. Creating another replacement for the same reversal can duplicate the intended adjustment. After posting, review the original entry, exact reversal and correction together so the complete sequence explains what changed and why.
