Roll forward options for journal entries

Learn about the different roll forward entries that you can choose when you add or edit journal entries.

Exclude: Select Exclude
if you don't want to roll forward the journal entry. This is the default option.
Include: Select Include
to roll forward the same journal entry as you did in the prior period (for a flat fee, for example). The entry rolled forward will include:
Journal entry reference
Description
Workpaper reference
Related accounts
Amounts
Reverse: Select Reverse
to reverse the value of the original journal entry when it's rolled forward (from positive to negative, for example). You might select this item when revenue or expenses were accrued in the preceding period and you don't want the accruals to remain in the engagement for another period.
Zero balances: Select Zero balances
to roll forward the journal entry with a zero balance. You might select this for journal entries that you complete every year with different amounts (a depreciation expense, for example).
