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:

  1. Access the Reconciliations area.

  2. Click Premium Payable under Reconciliations on the navigation panel.

  3. The Premium Payable Reconciliations screen displays. Enter your desired search criteria to populate the list.

  5. Click Finish.
  6. When the reversal/recreation is complete, you receive a notification informing you whether the process was successful.     
  7. 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.
