Reversing journal entry - all of it

Posted on by BJ-09092319-0

Hello! When I find the entry, it comes up in the general ledger entries with all 46 lines. However, when I click on reverse transaction, only 5 lines show up. It was all entered as one entry and has the exact same document no. Why can't I reverse the whole entry? Below are some of the lines in the entry. The second screenshot are the only lines that come up to be reversed.

Moved from Integration, Dataverse, and general topics forum to Small and medium business | Business Central, NAV, RMS forum, because it seems to be about D365 Business Central.

Dear Team
Kindly review the "Transaction No" column in the general ledger entries. Even if the document number is the same, transactions may have been posted at different times.

Reversals should be done based on the Transaction No, as this ensures accurate alignment.

This also applies to related tables such as the Vendor Ledger, Customer Ledger, or Bank Ledger, if the entries are linked to any subledgers. In such cases, the subledger entries will also be reversed using the same transaction number

Thanks

Not all lines in a general ledger entry are always eligible for reversal — only those that were posted together as one balanced transaction (same Transaction No.).

Thanks, Ramesh

Hi

What type of operations are there that cannot be reversed? Are they generated by the standard or by some application?

Hi, There is a straightforward way to do this. Copy the rows into Excel, then manually paste them into General Journals, change the amounts to negative numbers, and post them.
This will of course require some minor tidying up, but I think it will solve the problem. However, please preview it before posting. Some details are automatically generated and should not be repeated.

Thanks.

Hello,

To fully reverse the transaction, you may need to manually reverse the remaining lines via a General Journal, ensuring each account and dimension is correctly mirrored or you can reverse entire transaction using the same method.

Hope this answer will help you!

Mansi Soni
