I need to designate imported GL batch as an Auto-Reversing batch.

The client has non-Adagio cargo, freight handling and warehousing software that works a bit like a job costing module. Jobs are set up with revenue and a list of estimated costs. Jobs are invoiced immediately in the cargo software and imported into Adagio AR. To adhere to the matching principle and to produce accurate financial statements, estimated costs are sent from the cargo program as a csv file, which we import to the GL as accruals. At the beginning of the next month these accrual batches are reversed.

When you create a new GL batch from the keyboard you are offered the option to make the batch an auto-reversing batch. When you import a GL batch there doesn’t appear to be an auto-reverse option. Am I missing something obvious?

It is possible to archive the batch and bring it back as a reversing batch, but this is a chore and not a very elegant solution. I would really like to make things simple for the client.
