In the Journal Entry function, you can correct a GL posting by first creating a reversal posting and then the correct posting that replaces the original posting. However, the system does not store how the reversal posting and the replacement posting relate to the original posting. In some environments, users need to identify which postings are being reversed and replaced.

In addition, users may need to use negative GL entries for reversal postings, instead of positive GL entries on opposite sides of the ledger.
