How Distribution Reversals Affect Partner Contributions

When you reverse distributions that were originally processed with partner contributions, the reversal process automatically adjusts the distribution amounts to the partner contributions based on the distribution type, as described in the following table:

Distribution Type	Adjustment Processing	Updates in Joint Venture Distributions Work Area
Cost distributions with a debit amount	The amount is returned to the stakeholder's partner contribution from which it was originally drawn. This increases the partner contribution open amount.	The debit amount from the original distribution is moved to the reversed distribution as a credit amount.
Distributions with a credit amount This can be revenue distributions or credit cost distributions.	The amount is drawn from the partner contribution to which it was originally added. This decreases the partner contribution open amount. If the partner contribution doesn’t have enough open amount to draw from, the distribution is skipped from reversal processing. For more information, see the next topic "When the Reversal Process Skips a Distribution with a Credit Amount."	The credit amount from the original distribution is moved to the reversed distribution as a debit amount.

Cost distributions with a debit amount

The amount is returned to the stakeholder's partner contribution from which it was originally drawn. This increases the partner contribution open amount.

The debit amount from the original distribution is moved to the reversed distribution as a credit amount.

Distributions with a credit amount

This can be revenue distributions or credit cost distributions.

The amount is drawn from the partner contribution to which it was originally added. This decreases the partner contribution open amount.

If the partner contribution doesn’t have enough open amount to draw from, the distribution is skipped from reversal processing. For more information, see the next topic "When the Reversal Process Skips a Distribution with a Credit Amount."

The credit amount from the original distribution is moved to the reversed distribution as a debit amount.

The reversal process also carries the partner contribution number from each original distribution to the corresponding reversed distribution.

If an original distribution has split lines and a partner contribution covered one of those lines, the reversal process creates a reversed distribution for each split line. The partner contribution number from the original distribution is added to all the corresponding reversed distributions.

When the Reversal Process Skips a Distribution with a Credit Amount

If a partner contribution doesn’t have enough open amount to cover the reversal of a distribution with a credit amount, the Create Joint Venture Distribution Reversals process skips the reversal of the distribution.

Tip: The text file generated by the Create Joint Venture Distribution Reversals process includes the count of distributions skipped from reversal processing.

To complete the reversal for these distributions, perform the following tasks:

Replenish the partner contribution or create a new partner contribution for the stakeholder with enough open amount to cover the distribution amount.
Run the Assign and Draw Partner Contributions process.

For information on how to run this process, see Draw from Partner Contributions.

The process draws from the partner contribution open amount, completing the reversal. If the partner contribution still doesn’t have enough open amount, standard split processing applies. For more information, see How Partner Contributions Are Processed When a Distribution Can’t Be Fully Covered.
