Goal

How to solve error: ' XLA-870811You must account the transaction before viewing the journal entry ' captured when doing the accounting billing offset reversals .

The transaction that user is trying to account is the reversal of a project contract accounting transaction (billing offset). This reversal is automatically generated by Oracle to reverse the accounting transaction in the following period.

The original accounting transaction is successfully posted to ledger and accounting can be reviewed.

The user has not touched billing offset generation - it is running out-of-the-box. Billing offsets and their reversals are being generated as normal when running Create Accounting Transactions. The billing offset is accounting correctly, but the reversal is refusing to account.

There is no transaction to reconcile, and user does not want to uncheck the automatic reversal of these transactions, he just wants the normal Billing Offset flow to work as expected.
