"Correct Journal Transactions" feature will Reverse, Reverse and Correct and Copy an existing journal entries (This feature will only applicable for GL entries not for Sub Ledger entries like AP, AR, etc.). This wills avoid user’s manual Journal entry correction/ reversal effects.

User can invoke this feature through Correct Journal Transaction button which is available in Journal Transactions screen under General Ledger Module.

This Correct Journal Transaction screen has the follow three options:

Reverse – This option allows the original batch to be reversed (meaning it will offset the original batch making the transactions null and void) by creating a reversing batch. This batch is identical to the original batch except the debits and credits have been reversed to back out the original transaction amounts. The only fields that may be edited, in the new batch, are Batch Handling and Period-to-Post

Reverse and Correct – Creates a reversing batch for the original batch. This batch is identical to the original batch except the debits and credits have been reversed to back out the original transaction amounts. The only fields that may be edited are Batch Handling and Period-to-Post. A second, new batch will be created identical to the original batch and any field in the new batch may be edited.

Copy – Creates a new batch matching to the original batch and all fields can be modified. The period defaults to the current period.

Hope this Helps for someone!!!
