Problem: GL negative debits

Product:  Clarus
Applies to:  All
Article Type:  Problem 

Summary:
During a review of a GL report called the Account Analysis Report, the user questions the presence of negative debits.

Details:
The system is designed to allow for negative debits in certain instances.  This can occur when reversing entries are processed.  There are two options when you process a reversal of a journal.  One is to use the STANDARD option, which will create a debit entry to reverse a credit.  And conversely, it will create a credit entry to reverse a debit.  This would be the case for normal reversals of accruals for example. 

The other option is called TRUE which will create a negative debit or a positive credit for the reversal.  This option is intended to be used to reverse an incorrect posting as opposed to reversing an accrual. 

 The user will see the difference during their analysis of either the debit or the credit column of the Account Analysis report.  There is no harm in using either option, as the net result will be the same in terms of the balance of an account.
