Reverse an accounting entry automatically
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
You may want to automatically reverse an accounting entry at a specific
|
|
date.
|
|
|
|
This is, for example, used when you make a provision (e.g. provision for
|
|
bad debt). When making the accounting entry for the provision, the
|
|
amount you entered is only an estimated amount. You will only be sure of
|
|
the amount at the end of the fiscal year. That's why, at that point, you
|
|
want the accounting entry to be reversed to be able to enter the real
|
|
loss that occurred.
|
|
|
|
For this, you just have to tick the box "Reverse Automatically" on the
|
|
journal entry and to define a reversal date. The accounting entry will
|
|
be reversed at that date.
