The Second Module Is Here: Northern Comfort Reverse
A few days ago we introduced our product series Northern Comfort Finance — and promised that more modules were already in the works. Today we're delivering on that promise: Northern Comfort Reverse is available.
The Problem: Standard Reversal Has Narrow Limits
The "Reverse Transaction" function in Business Central only works under ideal conditions. As soon as entries have been applied, the period is closed, or the document type doesn't allow posting with the opposite sign, the standard gives up. And then the manual work begins: entering the counter-entry line by line, looking up posting groups, retyping dimensions, digging out the original exchange rate for foreign currency transactions — error-prone and time-consuming.
The Solution: Prepare Counter-Entries Instead of Posting Immediately
Northern Comfort Reverse takes a different approach than the standard: instead of posting immediately and irreversibly, the app analyzes the complete transaction and prepares ready-to-post lines in the general journal:
- Subledger lines for customers, vendors, employees, and bank accounts
- G/L account lines with the original posting groups and VAT posting groups
- Dimensions are carried over one to one
- Foreign currency is calculated using the exchange rates of the original entry
- Document types are set so the lines are actually postable
A preview shows every line before it reaches your journal — with warnings about accounts that block direct posting, unbalanced documents, or original entries that are already closed.
And because everything runs through the general journal, your familiar processes stay intact: the reversal follows your normal approval workflows and uses your number series.
Honesty as a Feature
One principle that mattered to us during development: better to stop clearly than to continue inaccurately. That's why the app deliberately stops at fixed asset entries instead of producing an incomplete reversal. For item-related transactions, it explicitly points out that quantities and inventory values remain untouched. And its own log warns you if a transaction is about to be reversed a second time by accident.
Pricing and Availability
Northern Comfort Reverse is available for Business Central Online at € 700 per year per production environment — sandbox environments included. You can try it free for 30 days on Microsoft AppSource.
