Is it possible to change/default the accounting date populated during the autoreverse process
Business is looking to ensure the accounting date used when running the autoreverse process is always the first day of the reversal period.
Example
An accrual journal is created on 02-11-25 for the period of Oct-25 and reversal period of Nov-25. When the autoreverse process is run for Nov-25, the accounting date of the reversal journal will always be that system date. So if the process is run on 10-11-25, that would be the accounting date. Whereas business would like the accounting date to be 01-11-25.
Business Impact
This is impacting downstream systems and leadership forecasting. For example, if an expense is accrued for the prior period during month end close and that expense has already been realized in the current period, the overall expense amount will reflect both the accrual amount and actual amount until the reversal is posted. Even when that reversal is posted, the expense will reflect incorrectly from the time period of the first day of the month through the accounting date of the reversal.
