Documentation
Definition
Indicator that the transaction figures on the original side of the account are reset again rather than being increased on the other side of the account when documents are reversed.
Use
If you have set this indicator, then the account balance of the account in question is represented as though the document had never been posted after the document is reversed. Otherwise the transaction figures of the account would be increased by the same amount on the debit and on the credit side due to the document and the reversal document.
Requirements
A precondition for negative postings is, however, that document types which allow line items to be flagged individually as negative postings have been defined. You have to define this in Customizing for document types. See "Define document types".
You must also permit the negative postings per company code and have defined reasons for reversal. You also make these settings in Financial Accounting Customizing. See "Define reasons for reversal".
Dependencies
If the reversal is posted using a posting date other than the one for the document to be reversed, the setting you make here does not take effect. The transaction figures are updated on both the debit and credit side anyway so as to avoid negative transaction figures in individual periods.
