Documentation

Definition

Specifies how the reversal document is created.

Use

Generally, business partner items in a reversal can be dealt with in one of two ways:

  • The items in the original document are cleared.
  • The items in the original document remain unchanged and in the reversal document, the items are shown with an inverse +/- sign.

Dependencies

If a document has cleared items and clearing is not to be or cannot be reset (for example, archived documents), you can only use the method with the offsetting items in the reversal document.

A reversal with offsetting postings is not possible in the following situations:

  • The document contains cleared items where cash discount was taken or payment surcharges were levied.
  • The document contains open items with a cash discount percentage rate.

    In both cases, it would not be possible to ensure that for the offsetting item, during clearing, a cash discount of payment surcharge for the same amount arises as during clearing of the original item.
  • A confirmation workflow is still active for the document.
  • The document is a payment document that still contains an open down payment created as a result of a down payment request.
