As mentioned, you will need to create a credit memo to reverse the posted transactions.

You cannot delete a posted sales invoice directly. Instead, you can reverse it by creating a Sales Credit Memo to offset the original invoice. This credit memo will create entries in the General Ledger (GL) to "reverse" the impact of the invoice.

In Business Central, once a sales invoice is posted, it cannot be directly deleted or reversed from the General Ledger (GL) because it impacts financial records.

The most common approach to "reversing" a posted sales invoice is to create and post a Credit Memo. This action essentially reverses the impact of the original sales invoice by crediting the same accounts that the invoice originally debited.

@Hein Kruger :

Hi ,

I try your solution but it did not worked .It did not remove the entry from the gl account which I have to revert. I created a new line after creating a sales credit memo.

You can revert the Posted Sales Invoice by applying a Sales Credit Memo.
1. Create a new Sales Credit Memo

2. Add the Customer No that was applied to the Posted Sales Invoice

3. Click "Get Posted Document Lines to Reverse" in the Ribbon. (if you want to reverse only some lines)

4. Select "Copy Document" if you want to reverse the whole Posted Sales Invoice
