Dear Paul,

In Customizing

Financial Accounting -> Accounting/Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Document Reversal -> Permit Negative Postings

Negative postings are used to reduce the transaction figures in G/L, customer, and vendor accounts. This allows you to give the transaction figures the status they would have had without posting the reversed document and its reversal document. This type of reversal is called a negative posting.

Negative postings give rise to changes in the reconciliation between documents and transaction figures. A debit item marked as a negative posting reduces the credit transaction figures, a credit item correspondingly reduces the debit transaction figures.
