Reverse a Premium Payable Statement
Reversing a statement creates an equal but opposite statement
that offsets the original. This action also creates reversing items for
all transactions flagged on the original statement. A finalized reconciliation
statement can be reversed whether it is paid or unpaid and whether the
accounting month is open, locked, posted, or finalized. Be aware that
reversing a paid statement does not affect the associated General Ledger
item. The best practice for reversing a paid statement is to reverse it
through the Void Disbursement
or Void Voucher workflow.
If the Journal
Entry Approval Process is enabled, only journal entries with an Approved or System
Approved status affect General Ledger balances and display on reconciliation
screens. Journal entries with a Working,
Submitted, or Rejected
status are excluded.
In order for a statement to be reversed:
- It cannot have been reversed previously.
- It cannot have a Reversed
status of Failed. If
this is the case, you will need to use the Reprocess
Statement action to complete the reversal.
- It must have a status of Finalized
or Approved.
- No pending processes can be associated to the items on the
statement.
- The statement cannot consist entirely of items with open/resolved
discrepancies, as these items cannot be reversed.
- Click the statement
in the list and then do one of the following:
- Click Actions
> Reverse Statement on the options bar.
- Click Actions
> Reverse Statement on the menubar.
- Right click the statement
and select Reverse
Statement.
Note:
No actions can be performed on statements containing archived transactions.
- The Reverse Statement
window displays, listing all individual statements associated to the
selected master statement number. Select the statement(s)
you want to reverse.
- Change the Accounting
month if necessary.
- Make a selection from the Recreate
statement dropdown menu:
- <Do Not Recreate>:
A reversing statement is created, but the original statement is
not recreated.
- Recreate Finalized:
In addition to the reversing statement, a recreated version of
the original statement is generated with a status of Finalized.
All items flagged on the original statement are flagged on the
recreated statement.
- Recreate Suspended:
In addition to the reversing statement, a recreated version of
the original statement is generated with a status of Suspended.
All items flagged on the original statement are flagged on the
recreated statement.
Note:
If a suspended statement with the same criteria currently exists,
you cannot recreate the statement as a suspended statement. Instead,
select Recreate Finalized,
and then reopen the recreated statement to do any necessary work
once the currently suspended statement has been finalized.
- Click Finish.
- When the reversal/recreation is complete, you receive a notification
informing you whether the process was successful.
- If the reversal was successful, the original and reversing
statements have a Reversed
status of Reversed; if
not, they have a Reversed
status of Failed.
- If the recreation was successful, the recreated statement has
a status of Finalized
or Suspended, depending
on your Recreate statement
selection. If not, it has a status of Failed.
- Whether or not the reversal is successful, a log is generated for
each individual statement that was reversed. The log is stored on
the statement producer or broker’s Attachments
list. You can access it from the Reconciliations area by highlighting
the statement
and clicking Access
> Attachments. If a statement is recreated (successfully
or unsuccessfully), a separate recreate log is also generated. The
log provides a list of the items that were reversed/recreated as well
as those that could not be reversed/recreated and the reasons why.
Once the issues identified in the log have been corrected, you can
use the Reprocess Statement
action to complete the reversal/recreation successfully.
