Transaction Reversal in PeopleSoft Asset Management – Capability to Reverse Incorrect Transactions

 

PeopleSoft Asset Management:

Asset management is a systematic process of deploying, operating, maintaining, upgrading and disposing of assets cost-effectively. The basic flow in PeopleSoft Asset Management begins with creating an asset, calculating the depreciation, creating accounting entries, closing depreciation and ends with generating journals.

 

Transaction Reversal in Asset Management:

Occasionally, there are cases where users enter incorrect transaction details or apply the changes to wrong asset id in PeopleSoft Asset Management. These error transactions affect the depreciation of the asset and accounting entries as well. To resolve this PeopleSoft has delivered a transaction reversal page.

Transaction reversal automatically reverses the last transaction of the asset and allows tracking the history of transaction reversals performed on any particular asset. Reversal of a transaction other than the initial asset addition results in reversing the cost of the transaction.

 

Steps to perform Transaction Reversal:

1) Check Reversal reason required on the AM BU definition page. This ensures the reasons are properly documented for future reference.

(Note: This step is required forces the user to select Reversal transaction code)
