Reversing Journal Entries

There are three ways to reverse a journal entry.

You can automatically reverse a journal entry by selecting the Reverse next month check box in the Journal Entry screen when you create the journal entry. If that box is selected, Voyager creates the journal entry and the reversing journal entry at the same time. See “Creating Journal Entry Batches” for information about creating a journal entry.

You can use the Reverse Journals feature to reverse journal entries. See “To reverse journal entries” for instructions.

Or you can manually create reversing journal entries. See “Creating Journal Entry Batches” for information about creating a journal entry.
