Procedure documentationExternal Account: Reverse Transactions

 

You use this function to reverse the following business transactions:

  • Net payments

  • Posting of transactions in an external account

  • Releasing positions of an external account

Procedure

  1. Call the function under Start of the navigation path External Accounts Next navigation step Accounting Next navigation step Reverse External Account Flows End of the navigation path (transaction TREA_REVERSE).

  2. Use the following criteria to select the flows that you want to reverse:

    • Position Context

      Select the clearing account position and/or the assignment position. If you only select the clearing account position, you can use the criteria Company Code and External Account to select the flows that you want to post. If you also select the assignment position, you can restrict the flows to those relating to specific financial transactions.

    • Enter the selection criteria.

    • In the Flow Selection area, specify the date until which you would like to select flows. The current date appears by default. Additionally, select whether you want to reverse the net payment, the posting, or the release of flows in the external account.

    • In the Posting Control area, specify the reason for the reversal, the FI posting date, the FI posting period, and the document date.

    • You can execute the program first in a test run.

  3. Choose Execute.

  4. The system selects the flows to be reversed and performs the reversal. For this, the system also selects and reverses any dependent flows. For example, if you want to reverse the release of the flows but a net payment has already been made after the release, the net payment also needs to be reversed.

  5. The system issues a reversal log.

  6. When the test run has returned the desired result, repeat the program in the update mode.

Result

The posting of the flows is undone and the flows acquire the posting status Reversed.

If you reverse the release of the flows, the system only sets the status of the associated flows to Reversed, whereas the related items acquire the posting and payment release status Not Released.
