Help Document
Diagnosis
The document that is to be reversed is a returns document, a reversal document, or a clearing reset for document . Document is a payment document or other clearing document in which automatic line items were created that belong to one of the following categories:
- Cash discount
- Exchange rate differences
- Withholding taxes
- Other taxes
- Revenue from charges
- Interest on arrears
These items were created on the basis of clearing. The clearing was removed from document and corresponding offsetting items were posted for the above mentioned items.
The original clearing for document cannot be recreated by reversing document . However the above mentioned posting items would be active again as the offsetting items created in document would be reversed.
The reversal would therefore lead to inconsistencies and is not permitted.
Example
With a payment of 970 you clear a receivable of 100 with a cash discount of 30. Post a return or a cash discount for the payment. The payment document contains the following items:
970 Bank account
30 Cash discount paid
-1000 Contract account (cleared by returns)
After reversing the returns document the clearing would be removed from the last item and a credit amount of -1000 would be found on the contract account, although only 970 had been paid.
