Reversing General Journal - Only Partial

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi, 

When I try to reverse a General Journal Entry, the system will not reverse the entire entry even if it is all apart of the same journal entry number.

For example - here is my original entry:

Journal Entry # Account  Debit Amount Credit Amount
GJ0001 Expense #1 $50.00
GJ0001 Miscellaneous $18.57
GJ0001 Clearing Account $18.57
GJ0001 Revenue $47.50
GJ0001 Expense #2 $2.50

If I try to reverse GJ0001 - I have to do it twice - once to reverse the $50, $47.50 & $2.50 portion
and a second time to reverse the $18.57, $18.57 portion. 

It seems like it will only reverse the portions of the entry that balances to itself. So because the DR. $18.57 & CR $18.57 balance themselves - it treats it as it's own journal entry and won't be reversed with the rest. 

I would just like to be able to reverse GJ0001 in it's entirety at once. 

Does anyone know why it is setup this way - I feel like you could miss reversing entire sections of larger entries?

    Hi,

    D365FO usually reverses the vouchers included in a journal but not the whole journal at once.

    If you want to reverse a whole journal who can use a workaround described here:

    Best regards,

    Hi LTaranoff,

    Could you share the screenshot the of the journal?

    Are five entries on one voucher?

    Hi Mattguo, thanks for your response. Please see attached real example.

    The original posting was posted as 1 single general journal entry, but when I navigate to do the reversal, it won't reverse the entire entry. Thanks for your help - we've just transitioned from a very old version of Great Plains.
