Reversing Elimination Transactions

The reverse allocation transaction process creates a reversing transaction. The Reverse Reason and a link to the Reversing Transaction are set on the originating Elimination Transaction.

A link to the originating transaction is set on the reversing transaction.

When you reverse an elimination transaction, the source transaction line items that were eliminated by the transaction will be unlinked from the reversed transaction.

This will enable the source transaction line items to be retrieved again for elimination.

Notes:

You should only use the reverse feature if an automated elimination was run for the incorrect company, GLAs etc. If you need to include additional transactions in an automated elimination, we recommend that you re-run the elimination process using the same criteria to include the additional transactions instead of reversing the original elimination transactions.

Once a transaction has been successfully reversed, it cannot be reversed again.

A Reversing transaction cannot be reversed.

The Transaction Date and Period are automatically populated on the reversing transaction with the value from the originating elimination transaction.

To Reverse an Elimination Transaction:

1. Make sure your current company is the company in which the elimination transaction was created. You must be in single-company mode.
2. Click the Automated Eliminations tab.
3. Click on the Elimination Transaction that you want to reverse.
4. Click Reverse.
5. Enter a reason for the reversal.
6. Click Reverse.
7. Review the warning message.
8. Click Reverse to start the reverse allocation transaction process.

If the number of elimination transaction lines exceeds a threshold number, the process will run asynchronously (in batch) and you will receive a notification when it completes. This threshold is controlled by a Document Line Volume custom setting. The type and destination of your notifications is controlled by an Accounting custom setting. Contact your administrator for more information.

If the number of elimination transaction lines is below this threshold, the process runs immediately.

Resolving Errors in the Reversing Elimination Transaction Process

If you encounter an error during the Reversing process then you must review the error in the error log and reverse the elimination transaction again, even if the reverse transaction has already been generated.

You can access error logs from the Reverse Transaction Logs related list on the Transaction record page. For more information, see Reverse Transaction Log Fields.

The Apex job class for the Reverse Allocation Transaction process is ReverseTransactionBatch. See Allocation Transaction Log Fields and the Salesforce Help for more details on Apex jobs.
