reverse this transaction and create a new one

@Karina if I reverse the journal, it means I need to reverse so many plans, then recreate the RevRec journals. Do you think it's the only way? P.S. do you know editing the plans is only done from the plan?
k
do not reverse the journal, but issue Return Authorization, and the journals will come through
m
Is there any SuiteAnswers about this?
k
not sure, it is ARM common sense per se.
m
Thanks. So if the Start Date is at the incorrect date, then you create RMA on the SO and recreate the SO? Sorry, I'm a bit new to this. Any little helps however obvious is most appreciated!!
k
oh. yes. so essentially you want to reverse everything you did incorrectly. The best way to do it through Ret Auth since it has its own plan. Then you have two transactions negating each other to include already recognized rev (well, you have to run Ret Auth JEs to date for that). Then once it is all gone and clean you can enter your transaction correctly
you can even merge them for good measure

Thanks a million!!🙏

@Karina I followed the steps. Created the RMA, created the JEs for the RMAs. Then merged two Revenue Arrangements. Now I want to enter my transaction with a correct Start Date. How can I do that without creating a new sales order?
k
oh. it must be a new SO - or call it a SOyournumber-Copy
m
Okay, that's what I dreaded to hear 🤭. If we create a new order, then we have to invoice it, which we had already invoiced the customer. We can't close the (New) order either, because I think the revenue arrangement is also closed
k
you should issue a credit memo on the first SO/INV and then re-issue the invoice; it will have the correct start/end date
re-issue the invoice on the new SO
do not sent it out if you do not need to
m
Thanks. By the sound of it, everything needs to get reversed. And it's very troublesome if the Start Date is incorrect, which can happen. It's human error
I think the Idea is to have an audit trail of changes and get the reports correct. Am I correct in saying if we find a way to move the RevRec journals from the wrong period to the other period, then the Waterfall and other reports still reflect the wrong data?
k
correct. human error happen and that is the way to fix it; the only way not to screw the Waterfall is the reverse the wrong and re-enter
m
👍
Thanks for all your support and patience 🙏

just to add - the worst you can do for the Waterfall report is to enter manual JEs using the same def rev account as for the system. It will stay in the waterfall forever even if you reverse it
m
Thanks for the heads up
