Cancel your pending bank pair reversal request

Withdraw an unposted reversal request when it should not proceed.

Updated 2026-11-11

When your reversal request is still pending and the pair permits the action, Reversal action can offer Cancel my reversal request. This withdraws the pending request rather than posting the reversal.

  1. Open the pair with the pending reversal and confirm that you requested it.
  2. Read the displayed reversal date and reason to verify the request being withdrawn.
  3. Choose Cancel my reversal request and submit, then refresh to confirm the updated state.

Cancelling a request is different from reversing a posting

The pending request has not yet completed the reversal posting. Withdrawing it should not be interpreted as a new bank movement or an undo of a reversal that was already posted.

If the reversal has already progressed, follow the current available accounting workflow instead. The action can be unavailable when you are not the requester or lack current management access. A reviewer can have a different return action for someone else’s request. Before preparing a replacement reversal, confirm that the original pending request is no longer active and correct the date or explanation that caused the withdrawal. Keep the original pair and its source evidence visible so the remaining accounting state is understood after the request is cancelled.
