# Recycle Activities

The reversal process in OIPA consists of an activity that is created to modify a processed activity. The reversal procedure allows changes to activities that could affect other processed activities. Using this functionality causes the system to respond by reversing all activities affected. The details will be maintained within the OIPA system.

- Identify the activity to reverse.

- Reverse the activity by selecting either the delete or recycle button.

Undo/Redo

Reversing any activity will cause most activities with a date LATER than the current activity to go through Undo/Redo. Undo and Redo are system generated activities that are created to correct any activities that were affected because they were dependent on a reversed activity’s data.

Note: You must process the delete activity before the original activity is actually deleted.

Deleting

Reversing an activity can be performed using two different methods depending on the desired outcome. If you want to reverse the activity and not replace it with the same type of activity, you should use the Delete icon. Deleting creates a new activity that is a reversal activity. This activity will change the status of the original activity to a Shadow status. All data that was updated by the original activity is updated with the original value.

###### Deleted Activity in Shadow Status

Recycling

If you only need to update information stored in an activity, you can use the Recycle icon. Recycling reverses a current activity and allows you to replace incorrect information in the activity. This eliminates the step of having to re-enter the same activity with the corrected information. Recycling works identically to deleting with the exception of scheduling a new activity to reprocess.

When clicked, the Recycle icon allows you to recycle or redo an activity if you need to change certain information that was originally entered. As a result, any activity that is spawned by this activity will be removed and regenerated upon reprocessing. The outcome of the recycle option is that a new and a reversal transaction are generated.
