Where a batch was posted to an incorrect general ledger period (or in the incorrect year being to the history company), you can repost the batch to the correct period following these steps:
Note down the batch number to be reversed and the period number it was posted to.
Reverse the batch in the period it was posted to. See: Reverse a batch in General Ledger.
📌Note: If it was posted in the history company and not your current company by mistake during end of year, then the batch will need to be reversed in your history company for the period it was posted to.
Repost the batch to the correct period, choose Transactions, General Ledger, Transactions, Repost Batches.
📌Note: If the batch was posted in your History company and you are reposting it to your current company, then Tick the Box From Other G/L files and select Your History Company in the Other Company Lookup box.
Enter the Period Number to Post to as the new period number to repost the original batch into.
Set the First Batch and Last Batch numbers to the batch number that requires reposting.
🤓Tip: Use F2 to search and select these numbers to ensure the number is entered correctly.
Ensure that Post in Reverse? check box to No.
Enter the Date for Transactions. All transactions in this batch will be created with this date.
Choose Accept (F9) to finish and repost the batch. You can now check the reversed batch and the new batch by printing the last two batch numbers in Reports, General Ledger, Transactions, All Transactions List.
You can now check the reversed batch and the new batch by printing the last two batch numbers in Reports, General Ledger, Transactions, All Transactions List.
📌Note: Any GL transaction batch that contains bank entries for accounts you are reconciling will create new unreconciled transactions that need to be reconciled in Bank Reconciliation. Reconcile the new transactions in Bank Reconciliation at the time the GL batch repost is done to avoid confusion.
