Reverse a transaction using the Copy/Transfer functionality

The Copy/Transfer function lets you reverse a transaction on the same account, or copy or transfer a transaction from one account to another. It is available on transactions in both Current and History.

To reverse a transaction:

  1. Log in to Dimensions and select the relevant company.

  2. Click Purchase Ledger or Sales Ledger.

  3. Click Suppliers or Customers.

  4. Select the Customer or Supplier.

  5. On the Transaction tab, double-click the transaction to view it.

  6. On the Details tab, right-click and select Copy/Transfer Transaction.

  7. In the Origin Account Settings section, set the following:

    • Reverse Signs: Yes.

    • Fully Post Transaction: Yes.

    • Target Account Settings: Leave all fields blank.

  8. Click Generate. A transaction is created with reversed signs and the same reference. Allocate the two transactions against each other to complete the reversal.

To copy or transfer a transaction from one account to another:

  1. Follow steps 1 to 6 above.

  2. In the Origin Account Settings section, set:

    • Reverse Signs: Yes.

    • Fully Post Transaction: Yes.

  3. In the Target Account Settings section, set:

    • Report Original To: enter the target account code. Once entered, the next two fields become available.

    • Reverse Signs: No.

    • Fully Post Transaction: No.

  4. Click Generate.

This creates a reverse entry on the origin account (which can be allocated against the incorrect transaction) and a replica of the invoice on the target account.
