Reversal journals can be generated in two ways:
- Debit<=> Credit: inversion of the sense. It corresponds to the standard accounting reversal for which an accounting journal is cancelled and replaced with another by inverting the debit and credit amounts. For instance: a credit acount of Euro 1000 becomes a debit account of Euro 1000 after reversal.
- Amount <=> Negative amount inversion of the sign. This method cancells the transactions of a journal by entering the same journal but with negative amounts. This methods is interesting in that it does not distort the account total.
