The manual reversal form shows the original journal's accounts and the exact opposite amounts proposed for the reversal. Review those lines before confirming. A reversal should offset the original entry; a different amount belongs in a separately explained correction.
Compare each account and amount with the original posted evidence. The former debit becomes a credit and the former credit becomes a debit in the proposed offset. Check the currency and date as well as the total, particularly when the original has several allocations.
If account names cannot be loaded, the decision remains unavailable until the current evidence is confirmed. Retry the account request and inspect the lines again. Do not approve from memory when the form cannot establish the accounts being reversed.
Once the reversal is posted, use Prepare correction if a replacement adjustment is needed and your access permits it. The corrected draft stays linked to the original and reversal. Keep the correction's purpose explicit so a later reviewer can distinguish the exact offset from the newly intended accounting treatment.
