Reversing Accrual Runs
Use
You can reverse an accrual run that has already been carried out. However, you can only reverse accrual runs in their entirety. You cannot reverse individual postings.
Normally, you do not have to reverse an accrual run, as accruals are recalculated during the next accrual run. The system always posts the difference to values previously posted.
In some cases, however, you may need to reverse a complete accrual run. For example, you may have carried out an accrual run with the wrong key date.
Features
You carry out the reversal in
Financial Accounting
using an inverse posting. This means that the account determination and determination of account assignments is carried out again for the reversal key date. This is done on the basis of the Customizing settings valid at that point in time.
Caution
This means that unexpected results can arise if you have changed the Customizing settings between the accrual run and the reversal, or if you have changed the basic data for the accrual objects during this period.
