paired-reversal-cancellation

separate

Reference for paired-reversal handling on GL batch tapes: an RV row whose ref-trace points at an earlier row cancels BOTH legs (the RV and the row it references) — but ONLY when the two value-dates fall within the shop's reversal settlement window; an RV that references a too-old posting is NOT a cancellation and posts one-sided. Useful when the posting tape carries a reference-trace column alongside reversal codes and the running balance is off by twice the reversal magnitude, or by a whole leg on stale references.

When to use

• Paired-reversal handling on GL batch tapes
• Cancelling both legs of a matched reversal pair
• Validating reversal settlement window
• Distinguishing paired vs unpaired RV rows
• Handling stale reversal references
• Debugging running balance discrepancies

When not to use

• Unpaired RV posting rules
• Standard posting rules for non-reversal rows
