Reversing Cash Journal Documents 

Use

You want to reverse a cash journal document.

Prerequisites

You have entered, saved, or posted a document in the cash journal.

Features

a) Deleting a document that has been entered or saved

You cannot delete a document that you have saved if you have already printed a receipt for it. Instead, follow the procedure for documents that have been posted.

You cannot delete a check posting document that has already been transferred from the cash account in a check lot and presented to the bank. Instead, follow the procedure for documents that have been posted and presented.

b) Deleting posted documents

Since the data in a cash journal document that you have posted has already been updated in the general ledger, the document can no longer be deleted in the cash journal. Instead, you delete the document using an inverse posting.

To carry out an inverse posting for an incorrect cash transaction to vendors/customers, switch to the tab for the other posting direction, (receipts or expenses), and then enter a posting in the same amount and with the same account assignments.

To carry out an inverse posting for an incorrect cash transaction to G/L accounts, switch to the tab for the other posting direction, (receipts or expenses), and then enter a posting in the same amount and with the same account assignments.

Any tax amounts have to be posted to the same tax accounts.

Use the same tax codes.

Leave the check in the cash account, do not present it, and proceed as for cash transactions.

To delete this document, you have to enter a manual posting. You do not do this in the cash journal however. This manual posting has to cancel the corresponding amount in the check clearing account and the original offsetting account to the vendor, customer, or G/L account.

Any tax amounts have to be posted to the same tax accounts.

Use the same tax codes.
