A GL Register (short for General Ledger Register) is a detailed record of all transactions posted to the General Ledger in a batch. Every time something is posted from General Journals, it creates a GL Register. This groups all transactions together that were included when “Post” was selected - either by a BC User or by an automated process like reapportioning, autobalance, or JIA.
When a journal entry needs to be reversed, I can either reverse the individual transaction or reverse it from the G/L Register, depending on the situation. For details on reversing a single transaction, see Reverse a Journal Entry.
In some cases, reversing from the G/L Register is more efficient. For example, if payroll was processed incorrectly and multiple entries need to be undone, reversing the group in the G/L Register lets me correct everything at once.
