Reversing an Individual Activity (SAP Library

Reversing an Individual Activity

Use

You use this function to reverse individual disbursements, debit positions, incoming payments, capital transfers or other postings (such as accruals/deferrals) for a particular contract.

Prerequisites

See: Reversals

Procedure

Choose Accounting ® Reversal ® Reverse Individual Activity.

Enter the company code and the contract number.

In the Postings displayed section, enter a period to restrict the postings available for reversal. Select the activity you want to reverse:

Disbursement

Debit Position

Incoming Payments

Capital Transfer

Other Posting

Choose Enter. The Loans: Reversal screen appears, which displays the documents for the functions you selected for the contract using the SAP List Viewer.

The top line contains information about the contract, such as the company code, product type, contract number, status and business partner.

The rows for the documents selected contain information on the document number, the value date or posting date, the FI document number, the debit/credit indictor, the flow type and the amount in contract currency.

You can branch to the loan document, the FI document and the bank statement for each document.

To reverse debit positions, for example, you select the debit positions you want to reverse and choose Post. In the Additional Posting Data dialog box, enter the posting date and the reason for the reversal. The default posting date corresponds the posting date in the document selection. You can change it however.

You can also enter a text for the reversal document. If you select the Log field, the system displays a posting log. If you select the Simulation field, the system carries out a test run.

Note

Documents cannot be reversed in the following cases:

If documents that are based on the document you want to reverse have already been posted (relevant for the cash flow)
If planned records have been changed manually

Note

Debit Position

If an incoming payment has already been posted for a debit position, reversal of the debit position results in an overpayment, which then has to be cleared.

Capital Transfer

If you reverse a capital transfer, the system reverses all the postings that belong to the capital transfer. This applies regardless of whether you have entered the number of the source or the target contract in the initial screen.
If you have made postings after the capital transfer, you must reverse these first. Only then can you reverse the capital transfer.
After the reversal of the capital transfer, incoming payments are posted as overpayments and have to be cleared.
