Telecom invoice negative-line sign validation

A negative line may be a credit, reversal or presentation convention; determine its accounting role before netting charges.

Records needed for this question

Line-type codes, invoice totals and associated original transactions.

How to investigate

Recompute the invoice with signed values and verify each reversal against its referenced charge.

An illustrative review decision

A credit line and a positive charge can describe the same service period. Normalize their signs consistently before totaling exposure; otherwise the reversal may appear to increase rather than reduce the charge.

What can lead to the wrong conclusion?

Converting every negative amount to a credit can double-count a reversal.

The result to retain

A signed-line reconciliation and unresolved-code list.
