 Reversing Deferral Requests Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If the customer does not pay the deferred receivable, not even by the new due date, you can reverse (cancel, undo) the deferral request.

Prerequisites

Only posted deferral requests can be reversed.

Features

You can either reverse deferral requests individually or use mass processing if you want to reverse more than one deferral request at a time. The program does not process deferral documents that have been cleared before the reversal.

When reversing a posted deferral request, newly parked documents are generated for the deferral requests not yet paid or only partially paid. This involves open items that refer to the same original receivable being grouped together as one item. You define the net due date for the new documents in screen section Specify Due Date for Follow-On Posting .

The newly generated documents inherit the request type Deferral Request and can be processed further as a deferral request . With the approval procedure, offsetting items are only generated when the parked reversal documents of the original deferral request are posted.

Deferral interest calculated with a deferral request is written off with the reversal and, in the case of partial payments, is recalculated. It is displayed in the new request as a new item. The original deferral interest is cancelled when the reversal is posted with an offsetting item.

A reversed deferral request is flagged with the value 1 (deferral reversed) in the document header in the field Reason for Reversal , whilst new requests are flagged with value 6 (new document from deferral reversal) in the field Reason for Reversal .

Mass Deferral

For mass deferrals, you receive a list of deferral requests in accordance with the selection criteria entered. You select the deferrals you want to reverse from the list.

Activities
