Hello, Is it possible to reverse a Counting Journal in Inventory Management? The only way I can think it can be done (with my limited knowledge) is to copy the posted journal and then manually go through the lines to update the quantity values. Is there an official or neater way to do this? Thank you, Alpesh
Hi Alpesh, Not sure what exactly you want to achieve here. But you can always write a job for generating lines and posting them. Regards, Harish Mohanbabu
Hello Harish, Thank you for your response. One of the users has incorrectly posted a stock counting journal and then asked me if it was possible to reverse it to get back to the original position. Thinking this through I guess she just need to post another journal with the correct values! Would you agree? Alpesh
You can make a new inventory journal based on the posted counting journal, where you can find the quantities posted. This will not reverse what was done, but the stock will become what it was before. And the values will probably not be exactly the same.
Hi Alpesh, I am not a functional consultant. That said - I am not sure whether is this the proper way. I guess for this you have to use Closing and adjustment form under Stock management → Periodic. For adjusting transactions (cost value), you have to select Transactions under Adjustment. For this you do not have to close the stock. For adjusting on hand, you have to select on-hand under Adjustment. But for this you must have run Close at least once. Hope a functional guru would correct me if I am wrong.

Hello, The user went to another source with this question and they adivsed her to do the following. “There’s no way of automatically reversing a counting journal really. All you can do is create another counting journal (just for the item that you messed up) and put in the correct quantity, be that greater or less.” She said that having done this it looks correct. I guess we will have to see now that she has committed. Thank you for your assistance. Regards, Alpesh
