    Note

    When you copy journals with the reversing entry parameter activated, links to the inventory transactions that were used to create the journal line are automatically created and saved. If the Inventory Transactionsparameter is activated, any inventory transactions with the receipt status Registeredand inventory issue transactions with the status Reservedare created in the new journal. This prevents dimension changes due to inventory transactions prior to journal posting (for example, as a result of an automatic reservation).
