RE: IFM Conversion Tools. Reverse Sign on Posting

Hi Vanessa,

Thanks for the response.

I would like to double check.

I was sure that I had the Reverse Sign set to Yes when AP was processed
and the APC's ended up with the wrong sign.  This is consistent with
your advice.

I wax equally sure that the first four ARI's I looked at had positive
Settlement Lines before they were posted.

Following your response, I switched off the Reverse Sign and posted the
rest of the ARI's.  I was very surprised to find that they ended up with
negative settlement lines.  When I revisited some that had not posted
due to errors, I was surprised to find that they also have negative
settlement lines.

Now I am really wondering whether the first four really did have
positive settlement lines.  Unfortunately, my set of screen dumps is not
complete and I cannot be absolutely sure. 

Could you please confirm that your advice about setting Reverse Sign to
NO (0) applies to BOTH ARI & APC transactions.

Regards

The documentation is incorrect. APC & ARI should be left at 0=N.
