Finding the journal entry an accrual posted, or the one that reversed it, meant searching the transaction list. It was hard to tell at a glance whether an accrual had reversed yet.
The one-time accrual detail page and the JE Schedules quick view have an Open linked records icon that lists the accrual's journal entries and opens them in one click.
Linked records for one-time accruals
One-time accruals now use the same Open linked records icon as Actual Matching.
- On the detail page and quick view. The icon appears on the one-time accrual detail page and in the JE Schedules quick view.
- Open entries in one click. Click the icon to see the accrual's journal entries, then click an entry to open it. Back returns you to JE Schedules.
- Reversal status at a glance. Once the accrual JE has posted, the menu shows Accrual JE plus a greyed-out Pending reversal JE. After the reversal posts, both entries open.
- Only when there is something to show. Draft or skipped accruals have no journal entry yet, so they don't show the icon.
How to use it
- Open a one-time accrual in JE Schedules, or open its quick view.
- Click the Open linked records icon.
- Click Accrual JE or the reversal entry to open it, then use Back to return to JE Schedules.
Why it matters
- No more searching. You no longer have to search the transaction list to find the entry an accrual posted or the entry that reversed it.
- Status you can see. You can tell at a glance whether an accrual has been reversed.
- One place to look. Accruals and Actual Matching now work the same way.
FAQ
Why don't I see the icon on some accruals?
Draft or skipped accruals have no journal entry yet, so the icon doesn't appear.
What does a greyed-out Pending reversal JE mean?
The accrual has posted but hasn't reversed yet. Once the reversal posts, it opens like the accrual entry.
