Answer / sangeetha g

I agree with S Subhalaxmi. I have another answer too
reversal for rectification for closed period. cancellation
for open period. I mean

exp: wrong entry for rs.100 on APR 8 2009. if closed period
is Mar 08 to Apr 09. Once we closed the book as of Apr 09
and realised the rs.100 wrong so I can't cancel the entry
due to closed i can reverse in MAy 1 2009.
