Posted on by 5

Does Business Central have a way to reverse a journal entry into the first day of the next accounting period for accruals?

    Does Business Central have a way to reverse a journal entry into the first day of the next accounting period for accruals?

    [/quote]

    in this scenerio "Reversing Entry Date 4/30/22 will Reverse 5/1 (assuming your Recurring Frequency is set correctly)".

    I am facing issue while posting entry on 04/30/22 as next month period is not open yet. Why NAV is behaving in this manner? why it is not allowing me to post entry on last day of calendar month (I don't want to open next period early)

    Regards

    There are field for you to define the Reversal Date. Unhide those fields and use the link Valentin provide and this should be what you desire.

    Yes its possible, there was a 'Reversing Date Calculation' added to the recurring journal that allows you do this, take a look here:

    Hi Kim

    Can we setup frequency in such a way that, even an auto reversing journals posted on 27-31st of month will get reversed on next period.

    As we have plenty of accruals and with this limitation, we have to wait for last day to the month to post as an auto reversing journal.

    Dclark,

    As Kim noted, in the Recurring Journal, make the Recurring Frequency Reversing X (like Reversing Variable). Below is a sample so you can test.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Yes, but your original entry must be dated on the last day of the accounting of the original post.

    Reversing Entry Date 4/30/22 will Reverse 5/1 (assuming your Recurring Frequency is set correctly)

    Reversing Entry Date 4/29/22 will Reverse 4/30

    Suggested Recurring Frequency is 1D+1M-1D which will always set to last of the month.
