Reverse a Goods Receipt

Posted on by JE-20081519-0 3,510
Hi:
 
A Purchase Order has been entered and goods have been received from the vendor.
 
So, we have posted the Warehouse Receipt.
 
Later, we want to reverse this Goods Receipt so that we can for example change the Posting Date originally entered.
 
True, the Undo Receipt selection is available in the Line Item section of the Posted Purchase Receipt screen.
 
But, this undo feature isn't available in the Posted Warehouse Receipt screen.
 
So, how can we reverse the Goods Receipt so that we may change the Posting Date originally entered?
 
Thanks!
 
John

    Ideally when you undo from the Posted Purchase Receipt, it should undo in the Posted Warehouse Receipt too.  Which version of BC you are using? and SaaS or onprem?

    You cannot undo a Posted Warehouse Receipt directly because the Undo Receipt option is only available on the Posted Purchase Receipt page (and only if the receipt is not invoiced). If goods were received via a warehouse process, the corrective line will also appear on the posted warehouse receipt when you undo from the purchase receipt.

    To change the Posting Date, you must:

    • Undo the receipt from Posted Purchase Receipt (if not invoiced). This reverses the quantity and resets the purchase order for re-posting with the correct date.

    • If already invoiced, you cannot undo; instead, create a Purchase Credit Memo and re-post with the correct date.

    • Warehouse receipts themselves have no direct undo option—the reversal flows through purchase documents.


      •  

    Changing posting dates after posting is not allowed by design; reversal and re-posting is the standard approach. [community….namics.com], [yzhums.com]

    Hello John,
     
    You cannot undo a Posted Warehouse Receipt in Business Central.
    To reverse the receipt so you can fix the posting date, you must:
    Undo the Posted Purchase Receipt (the only undoable document)
    Then correct the PO and re-post.
    If Undo isn’t allowed (already invoiced/used)
    Use a Purchase Return Order to reverse the receipt, then receive again with the correct date.
    That’s the only supported path.
