You can use the form to reverse settlements for customers or vendors. You might do this if the wrong date or settlement amount was used. When you reverse a settlement, all transaction distributions involved in the process of settling an invoice with a payment are reversed, such as general ledger posting, exchange rate gains or losses, penny differences, and cash discount transactions.

Note Note

The original invoice and payment transactions are not reversed automatically when you reverse settlements. For information about how to reverse or settle those transactions, see Reverse a transactionor Use open transaction editing to settle transactions with payments.
