# Reversal Entry
A **Reversal Entry** is an accounting entry used to cancel or negate a previously recorded transaction by creating an equal and opposite entry. Reversal entries are commonly used to correct accounting errors, reverse accruals, or remove transactions that were posted incorrectly.
The reversal process helps maintain accurate financial records while preserving the audit trail of the original transaction.
## Steps for Creating a Reversal Entry
Step 1: Navigate to the **General Ledger** module.
1. Click **Transaction** from the menu.
2. Select **Reversal Entry** option.
* The Reversal Entry screen will be displayed.
Step 2: Select the appropriate options available on the screen.
1. Choose the required **Voucher Type** from the available list.
Step 3: Enter the **From Date** and **To Date** to define the transaction period.
1. Alternatively, click the **Search** icon to select the required period from the date selection window.
Step 4: Click the **Advance Filter** option.
1. Apply additional filters to locate specific transactions more efficiently.
Step 5: Select the Transaction for Reversal
1. Review the displayed transactions carefully.
2. Identify the transaction that needs to be reversed.
3. Select the required transaction.
Step 6: After selecting the transaction, verify all details.
1. Click the **Save** button.
* The system creates a reversal entry that offsets the original transaction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.rbsgo.com/general-ledger/general-ledger-module/gl-transaction/reversal-entry.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
