Request reversal starts the accounting reversal workflow for an eligible posted bank pair. The form requires a reversal accounting date and a reason explaining why the posted pair should be reversed.
- Open the posted pair and inspect its original legs, reason, and accounting date.
- Enter the Reversal accounting date and a factual Reversal reason.
- Choose Request reversal, then inspect the pair’s updated reversal status.
A request is not the posted reversal
The pair can show Reversal ready to post while the reversal is still awaiting its posting action. Review the available next step and the authorized user responsible for it.
Both legs reverse together, preserving the original source and journal-line history. Explain the actual accounting issue, such as an incorrect pairing, instead of using a generic undo note. The reason field accepts up to 1,000 characters, and actions other than cancelling a pending reversal require a reason with at least three characters. If a reversal request already exists, inspect it rather than starting another. Confirm the eventual posted or returned outcome before preparing any replacement accounting, and keep real bank funds movement separate from this journal correction.
