### Common use cases

- Accrued revenue at period-end that reverses when the actual invoice is issued

- Estimated expenses that reverse when actuals arrive

- Year-end adjustments that need to reverse at the start of the new period

### Creating an entry with a reversal

1. Go to **Accounting** and open any report (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, General Ledger, etc.)

2. Click **Create journal entry**

3. Set the **date** and **entity**

4. Enter your debit and credit lines

5. In the **Details** panel on the right:  
   - Set the **Reversal Date**  
   - Add a **Memo** to describe the entry  
   - Optionally attach supporting documents

6. Click **Save** — Kick saves the original entry and queues the reversal automatically

### Viewing reversal entries

Both the original entry and its reversal appear in the **General Ledger**:

1. Go to **Accounting** → **General Ledger**

2. Filter for **Entry source** = Manual Journal Entry

Reversal entries are labeled in the Description field with "Reversal of" followed by the original entry description.

### Editing reversal entries

The reversal entry is read-only — all edits are made on the original entry. When you update the original, Kick automatically regenerates the reversal to stay in sync.

From the original entry, you can update:

- Reversal date  
- Amounts  
- Accounts  
- Description  
- Memo

### Deleting reversal entries

- To remove a scheduled reversal: clear the reversal date on the original entry, or delete the reversal entry directly

- Deleting the original entry automatically deletes the reversal
