Reversing entries are normally done to reverse accruals or estimates when the actual figures are known. Probably the most common is a reversal of a payroll accrual - at the end of Month 1, you accrue for payroll expense incurred but not yet paid (say 3 days). During Month 2, when the payroll is paid (for a 5 day pay week), you post the actual payroll and you reverse the prior month's accrual (leaving you with 2 days expense in Month 2 relating to that payroll). You might also estimate revenues for a period and set up a receivable for them. During the following period, this estimate would be reversed when the actual revenues are recognized.
