Undo an accounting entry at Embat

When posting transactions, you may need to adjust a record or correct a human error. To make this easier, Embat allows you to reverse the posting of a transaction in a simple way.

1. Open the left-hand side menu of the application and click on Accounting.
2. Go to the Bank statements section and select History.

3. Find the accounting entry you want to reverse and click on the vertical menu (three dots) located in the top-right corner of the posting.

   

4. Click on Undo accounting:

   
   
   
    

5. Confirm the action on the confirmation screen. Depending on the status of the invoice linked to the posting, one of the following messages will appear:

   • If the invoice is not fully paid, a screen will explain that once you confirm, the transaction will move back to the Create tab, the posting will be reversed in Embat, and you will need to manage the corresponding journal entries manually in your ERP.
     
     

   • If the invoice is fully paid, the message will indicate that a manual action is required. You will need to manually reverse the status of the invoices in your ERP to complete the process.

     

6. In both cases, click Confirm to proceed with the reversal.
7. Once reversed, the posting will not disappear from the Accounting history. To ensure traceability, it will appear with a different visual status: it will be visually “dimmed” and shown in a light grey tone, different from the rest of the postings.
   • On the right-hand side, it will display the status Posting reversed.
   • When you hover over this status, you will be able to see details such as the user who performed the reversal and the time when the action was executed.
