Reflection transactions are used to transfer latest debit or credit amounts of specific accounts to new accounts.
The reflection transaction involves the transfer of 7A / 7B expense accounts of the balance sheet to offset accounts at the period end. Offset accounts are transferred to income statement accounts, and to account 690 before generating the period end balance sheet (monthly or quarterly) at the end of the last period.
The reflection method is specified by defining a Reflection Template. Reflection Templates are located under the Definitions menu of the General Ledger module. The related buttons of the Reflection Templates list and the options of the Info, Related Records and right click menus are used to record new templates or to modify existing definitions.
