Integration with some reversing JEs

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

We currently have an integration of GL transactions using one source file, however it doesn't do reversing entries.  Would it be possible to modify this to handle a source file where some JEs are reversing, and some are not?  For example, could I add a "Reversing Date" column to the source file, and if that field is empty, then the JE is not reversing.  If it has a date, then that becomes the reversing date.  I'm thinking this might require a VB script in the Destination Mapping, which is a little beyond me.  Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Joe

    Joe, did Heathers suggestion work for you?  Just interested as I dont have one to work out right now, just want it for future reference.

    Agree!  I've been using this type file for years.  Works like a charm!  :-)

    Heather, that is a very good solution - I will see that I try that the next time we have to design a new integration to the GL with the potential for Reversing entries.

    Hi

    I do Standard and Reversing journals in the same file quite happily.

    In my file, I have a column for Std or Rev.  For Std Journals, I have a 1 and for Reversing a 2.  In the destination mapping I use translation field to map the 1 to standard and the 2 to reversing.

    Then I have two columns for date - one for journal date and one for reversing.  I just map the reversing date and it is only needed for reversing transactions.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers

    Heather

    Joe, did you get a chance to test this - if so, mark this as closed.

    You might make life simple by creating two separate integrations - still using the single file.

    Use the Reverse Date as the filter - excluded in one pass and included in a second pass.

    Then make the two separate integrations into a group and pow you have one button integration and don't need to do any coding.

    My thoughts anyway - let us know if this helps.
