Reflection transaction is used to transfer latest debit or credit amounts of specific accounts to new accounts. This option is located under the Operations menu of the General Ledger module.
The reflection transaction involves the transfer of 7A / 7B expense accounts of the balance sheet to reflection accounts at the period end. Reflection 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.
