[AP] How to remove a Prior Month Payment Reversal

Important Rules

• Do NOT normally void a prior-month reversal — it already offsets the original payment.
• This process is only used if you must undo a reversal.
• You can only do this in the same month the reversal was posted, and the month must be open.
• The reversing check must NOT be cleared in Cash Management.

When You Might Need This

You forgot to check Create Open Transactions and now must recreate invoices manually.

The check should never have been reversed.

Steps to Remove a Reversing Check & Transaction

1. Open AP Void Payment
   • Go to the AP Void Payment form.
2. Create a new batch
   • Use the same month the reversal was posted.
   • Enter the CM Account.
   • Use F4 to select the negative reversing check.
3. Set the correct action
   • Set Action = Clear (not Void).
4. Update and post
   • Click Update.
   • Post the batch.
5. Delete the reversing transaction
   • Click File > Add Transaction.
   • Add the reversing transaction to the batch.
   • Change Action = D (Delete).
6. Process and post
   • Process and post the batch.

Result

• The reversing check and reversing transaction are fully removed from the system.
• You can now manually recreate transactions or correct the original error as needed.
