Adjustment Posting/Reversal
It is inevitable that during document posting, some incorrect document might be mistakenly entered in the
system. An incorrect document entered in the SAP system cannot be deleted; instead it must be reversed.
Documents can be reversed in the system using either the normal posting reversal or the negative reversal
method.
With normal posting reversal, the debit and credit sides of the total transaction are increased with the
adjustment figure. With negative reversal, the adjustment figure is subtracted from the total transaction
figure in the account. In other words, the total transaction figure will not be increased with the transaction
figures. The transaction figures in the system remain as the original figures before posting. This systematic
style of reduction is referred to as negative posting. When you permit negative posting, negative postings will
be permitted for your company code. This will allow the system to reduce transaction figures in G/L and in
your customer and vendor accounts without actually increasing the total transaction figures.
