Reversing a Journal Entry
First, we'll want to locate the journal entry to reverse. A simple way to do this is to go to Accounting > Miscellaneous > Journal Entries and use the filters to find the posted entry you would like to cancel.
Once you're on the journal entry, click reverse Entry.
A modal will pop up giving you a few fields to choose:
Reversal Date:
Specific: If selected, you can choose a specific date to reverse the entry.
Journal Entry Date: If selected, the date of the journal entry will also be used as the reversal date.
Use Specific Journal: Choose the journal you would like to use, though if this field is left blank, the journal of the journal entry will be used for the reversal.
Reversal Date: Select a date for the reversal to be reflected on in the journal.
When finished, click reverse .
This will remove the journal entry from the journal, at which point it can be edited and posted again, if needed.
