Most of the cases both are considered in same sense,but we
use reversal when we made some mistakes while passing

no necessary for the entry at future.

what is the diff between reversal and cancellation entries?..

Answer / sangeetha g

I agree with S Subhalaxmi. I have another answer too
reversal for rectification for closed period. cancellation
for open period. I mean

exp: wrong entry for rs.100 on APR 8 2009. if closed period
is Mar 08 to Apr 09. Once we closed the book as of Apr 09
and realised the rs.100 wrong so I can't cancel the entry
due to closed i can reverse in MAy 1 2009.
