Hi there,

 

We are having an issue with reversing a journal. From what we understand, this is done by creating a new voucher, pressing the Copy GL Voucher Rows button, selecting from the list the ones needing to be reversed and reversing….the problem is, nothing appears when pressing the Copy GL Voucher Rows button.

 

Has anybody else had this problem?

 

Many thanks

Hi Darren

When we do reversing manual vouchers, we enter the details on the voucher entry screen and save. Then RMB on the header of the voucher you have just entered and select interim voucher, this will produce a pop up screen and you can specify the date of the reversal. But i’m in IFS AP10, have they removed the interim voucher functionality on IFS Cloud?

Hi,

Copy Voucher option is to copy the Line Details of a Voucher to another. Which is like creating a New Voucher. Use the “Interim Voucher” option. 

If it is a Manual Voucher if you have Passed to the GL, then search for the Voucher in GL Voucher Detail Analysis and Check there will be a Cancel Voucher option. It will  also reverse the Voucher

Hi,

interim voucher and cancellation of vouchers are going to be used a bit seperatly:

  1. Interim voucher - can be used on a voucher in the hold table (not updated to gl) a reversal will be created in the period that you can define during the process. Make sure the period is open. It cannot be used on updated vouchers in GL. In this scenario you know upfront that the entry needs to be reversed in the next period. Often used to handle accruals.
  2. Copy GL Voucher can be used to copy or cancel an already updated voucher in GL. You must start with create new voucher. Now option copy voucher from GL is available. Select Correction: Debit Amount is treated as Credit Amount and vice versa
    Reverse: Debit Amount is treated as negative Debit Amount and Credit Amount is treated as negative Credit Amount.
    Empty: Voucher lines are just copied as existing in the voucher to be copied
    - as Ramesh already explained there is another option from Voucher Detail Analysis/Check there will be a Cancel Voucher (RMB Apps10, Radio Button in cloud) option.
    Function can be used multiple times to copy multiple voucher. 

Both functions are available in IFS Application 10 and IFS Cloud.

Hi Ralph, 

Our voucher is updated to the GL so we are following method 2)

Where abouts are we going wrong?

 


 

We have also tried combinations of Voucher type  M on first screenshot and Reverse on the second screenshot. No matter what we do our voucher we wish to correct does not appear or any voucher appear at all.

What are we doing wrong?

I am suprised to see voucher type K . K is usually used for supplier incoice cancellations and cannot be used in manual voucher entry.

Hello,

@Ralph Gericke 
Function group K can be used to cancel supplier invoices, manual and external customer invoices as well as for manual entries. It was always designed that way. 
 @Danny 
It seems system does not display you any voucher from GL to be reversed or copied. I am not sure what is the reason. But please be aware that this function only allows you to copy manual vouchers, i.e. function groups M, Q or K, and only deals with manual posting lines (excluding externally load vouchers and results of automatic posting lines).
Are you sure you have in GL manual voucher to be reversed?

@Adam.Bereda 

Thanks for the above. How do we reverse an error elsewhere. There have been erroneous postings via the MT voucher. Is there a way to reverse  these?

Hello,
MT is time reporting voucher from Work Order, if you have posting errors there it means that yout T% posting types were not set up correctly. 
I think accounts affected are not ledger, so balances can be corrected by manual voucher, but you cannot use Copy GL Voucher rows to prepare voucher. 
Instead, you can extract incorrect voucher rows to Excel and prepare reverse journal to be loaded via External Voucher Load function.

You may use STDVOU file template or create your own one.
