Manage Reversed, Redistributed, and Reassigned Distributions

You can manage reversed, redistributed, and reassigned distributions from the Joint Venture Distributions work area.

You must be a user with joint venture accountant privileges to manage the records.

The Joint Venture Distributions work area displays details about each distribution, including the distribution status and distribution line type. This enables you to know the processing stage each distribution is at, whether it’s invoiced, credit memo creation is in progress, and so on.

The information you can modify for each distribution depends on the distribution line type and status.

For reversals that are triggered by an ownership definition change, here are the actions you can perform in the distributions for each combination of distribution line type and status:

Distribution Line Type	Distribution Status	Action
Canceled	Process Complete	The original distribution changes to this distribution line type and status after a reversed distribution is created for it. You can’t update a distribution that have this line type and status.
Reversed	Available to Process	This is the initial status when a reversed distribution is created. This status indicates that the distribution is ready for downstream activities, for example, to create a credit memo. You can change the status to “On Hold”, enter a reversal reason, and enter additional information about the reversal.
Reversed	On Hold	Use this status to place a reversed distribution on hold. From this status, you can only change to “Available to Process” status.
Reversed	Credit Memo in Progress	This is the status after you run the process to send the reversed distribution to Receivables in preparation for credit memo creation. You can’t update a distribution at this status.
Reversed	Process Complete	For a cost distribution, this is the status after the credit memo information is updated in the reversed distribution. For a revenue distribution, this is the status after you create the debit memo. You can’t update a distribution at this status.
Redistributed	Available to Process	This is the initial status when a redistributed record is created. This status indicates that the distribution is ready for downstream activities, for example, to create a receivables invoice. You can change the status to “On Hold” and change the “Distribution Only” setting.
Redistributed	On Hold	Use this status to place a redistributed record on hold. You can change the status to “Available to Process” and change the “Distribution Only” setting.

For reversals that are initiated manually in the Joint Venture Distributions work area, here are the actions you can perform in the distributions for each combination of distribution line type and status:

Distribution Line Type	Distribution Status	Action
