there are some alternatives. Refer Metalink note: ID 204082.1
How to prevent users ability to reverse unposted journals?
For 11i, there is not a method to prevent users from reversing unposted journals. This
is intended functionality to incorporate the maximum flexibility that users may
require. However you can limit user access to journal reversals through user menus
set up in Sys Admin responsibility.
This functionality changed in R12 see Note 734848.1 In Release 12, a batch must
be posted before it can be reversed.
How do you automatically generate a reversal journal entry for a journal
category in the previous accounting period?
If you routinely generate and post large numbers of journal reversals as part of your
month end closing and opening procedures, you can save time and reduce entry
errors by using Automatic Journal Reversal to automatically generate and post your
journal reversals.
First you define journal reversal criteria for journal categories. Journal reversal criteria
let you specify the reversal method, period and date. You can also choose to enable
automatic generation and posting of journals.

When you create a journal entry you want to automatically reverse, specify a journal
category that has assigned reversal criteria. Your journal will be reversed based on
the method, period and date criteria you defined for that journal category.
In Release 12, a reversal journal that is Unposted cannot be modified. Why?
This is the expected functionality in Release 12. However the profile GL: Edit Reverse
Journals can be set to allow the modification. Refer metalink note: ID 567641.1
Reversing journal was deleted from the system, how can you still reverse
the original journal?
General Ledger does not allow you to reverse a journal entry twice. . Refer metalink
note: ID 145043.1 for details.
A journal entry with a source set up for automatic reversal is not reversed.
Why?
General Ledger automatically submits the AutoReverse program when a period is
opened if the profile option, GL: Launch AutoReverse After Open Period, is set to Yes.
If a journal is created after the period has already been opened, then the
AutoReverse program will need to be submitted manually.
A journal has been created and is unposted. The following period has a
reversing journal for the original journal and it is posted. Why it is so?
This is currently the functionality of the application to allow the reversing journal to
be posted even if the original journal is not.
