Reverse a FI Document

Something you did is not right?

Don’t worry, once you have posted a document, still we have the possibility of reverse it. Specifically we have two options:

The first option is reverse the document individually, with SAP transaction FB08.

Path: SAP menu->Accounting->Financial Accounting->Document->Reverse->FB08 – Individual Reversal

With this option, you enter the document number, company code and fiscal year (to identify the document) and is mandatory also indicating a Reversal Reason between the list of reasons given by SAP (Incorrect WBS, Incorrect cost center, etc). Yes, it’s sure you’ll have a reason to reverse the document.

Additionally, we have a second option to reverse a document, several documents at the same execution, in mass mode, using the transaction F.80 

Path: SAP menu->Accounting->Financial Accounting->Document->Reverse->F.80 – Mass Reversal

With this option we have a set of fields to define the criteria to reverse the documents. It is important remark that we have the possibility of test run the execution previously to the real mass reversal. Yes, we strongly suggest run this transaction in test mode before the real execution.

Note: The system doesn’t allow reverse cleared items until the clearing is reset. In that case using the transaction FBRA the link between cleared item and clearing document is broken, and reverses should be possible. But be carefully with this “practice”.
