Reversal of Sale Invoice after clearing Credit Memo application

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi,

I can't find a way to reverse sales invoice that had a credit memo applied to it. I have cleared the credit memo application but when I try to reverse invoice (I need to roll back all the WIP so don't want to use credit memo option)) I get an error that 'you can't reverse invoice as it has a credit memo applied'. Anyone had the same issue and managed to resolve it?

Thank you

Kasia

    Hi KasiaM,

    Credit Memo is a document to cancel/reverse Sales Invoice. When you have applied Credit Memo to Sales Invoice then why you need to reverse Sales Invice again.

    hi

    When a credit memo is applied to a sales invoice, it creates a link between the two documents, and this link can prevent the reversal of the sales invoice. In this case, you will need to first remove the credit memo application from the sales invoice, and then reverse the sales invoice.

    To remove the credit memo application from the sales invoice, follow these steps:

    Open the sales invoice that has the credit memo applied.

    Click on the "Credit Memo" tab, and select the applied credit memo.

    Click on the "Delete Application" action in the ribbon.

    Once you have removed the credit memo application, you should be able to reverse the sales invoice by clicking on the "Reverse" action in the ribbon.

    Keep in mind that reversing a sales invoice will create a new document, which will have a negative value and will be posted to the same accounts as the original invoice, reversing the impact of the original transaction.

    Thanks Daniele. I can't locate the 'Credit Memo' Tab once I open the invoice. Are you able to send me a screenshot or let me know under which heading i can find it. Thanks!

    Hi, If you use the Correct function to cancel this invoice, use the following method to open this Credit Memo.
