Use the Flip Sign option to reverse the sign of an element, and negate its label when the report is rendered. This feature is useful when you need to change the label, or where a debit needs to be reported as a credit or vice versa.
Note: | Before flipping the sign of an fact to a negative value, consider the impact to other labels when the document is rendered.

If the fact value is changed to a negative value, a double negative is created, and the value is considered positive, which increases retained earnings. |
