Reversing Journal Entries

Within Journal Entry, when the “Reverse” checkbox is selected in the GLJrnHed, this triggers the system to automatically create reversing entries for the next fiscal period during the posting process.

Is a way to know whether a GLJrnDtl record was created automatically by the system as a result of this (entering a Reversing Entry in the previous month)?

Yes, the GLJrnDtl record is created at the time you put in a reversing entry. Our reversing entries all reverse on the 1st of the next month. So
we can see them in chart tracker.

If you want to look for it, a BAQ on the GLJrnDtl file works.

The GLJrnDtl Lines that it creates do not have the GLJrnDtl.Reverse field as True… And it assigns them a new Journal Number with no reference back to the original Journal Entry that created them

The GroupID carries into the reversing journal entry… that may be some help depending on how you decide on your group names. We have specific group ID for our
standard journal entries and then special ID for misc entries. This allows us to track all the journal entries related to the same thing. Example: All our salesman commissions go in on a group ID of 616- every month. The accrual JE and the reversing JE have
616 and we can track them if we need to.
