What is inversion in SAP FIN-SEM-BCS - Business Consolidation?

SAP Term: inversion

• Component: FIN-SEM-BCS

• Component Name: Business Consolidation

• Description: A mode of document reversion. Inversion reverses postings that were made in earlier posting periods. Thus, an inversion is not a true reversal because a net difference remains in the original period of the inverted document. It is possible to reverse a document that has been inverted. When an inverted document is reversed, the inverting document is also reversed with the result that a remaining net difference no longer exists in both the period of the inverted document and the period of the inverting document.
