What is the difference between Invert Sign, and Marking as Reverse Entry on the header for GL Reversals

Posted on by Community Member

What is the difference in the functionality and results for reversing a posted GL entry in D365 Finance?

Approach 1:  Create a new GL journal, go to functions, load voucher transactions, and then selecting "Invert Sign" when you load the entry

Approach 2: Create a new GL journal, and mark it as a "Reversing Entry" and enter the reversing date.

    Hello,

    Approach 1 - Is a way to help you do the reversal for a GL entry already posted. Instead of creating it manually, you are pulling existing GL entry and just creating reversal entry.

    Approach 2 - When you do reversing entry prior to posting journal, system will automatically create the reversal line for the reversing date and post it immediately. With this approach you don't have anything to do for reversing an entry.

    Hi SCWIT0905,

    Satish is correct in his answer. In addition, Approach 1 will try to create a journal based on used ledger accounts. This will not be helpful if you had an original journal with account types such as Customer, Vendor, Bank, Project or Fixed asset. Whereas using Aproach 2, it will use the original journal lines including the subledger account types.
