- Leave the Currency Effective Date field blank.
- Check applicable boxes, if any:
- Reverse Signs: Creates a copy of the existing JE with all the signs reversed.
- Save Journal Incomplete Status: Prevents the JE from being picked by the nightly batch processes.
- Copy Attachments: Copies any existing attachments to the new keys in ImageNow. If there are no attachments associated with the original JE, this option will be greyed out.
- The Reversal Date group box is used by central accounting offices. As a general rule, copied JEs should use the default setting of Do Not Generate Reversal.
- Click OK.
