Hello,

I accidentally posted an entry as a purchase instead of a positive adjustment.

Is there anything I can do correct this error?

Thank you

    We don't have a credit note option in the Item journal to do the adjustment. you will have to post a Negative Adjustment and then post the positive adjustment again.

    But; both Purchase and Positive adjustment will give you the same result in inventory other that the fact that the entry type in Item ledger entry in "Purchase" instead of "Positive Adjmt.". Unless you have a special report that consider the entry type field. I don't see why this should concern you.

    Hi Subhashis Das,

    There is another workaround you can do.

    You can post the same item with the same quantity with the type "Purchase" but with Negative Quantity

    Therefore, the result of the quantity in the inventory module will be corrected, and also the GL Accounts. 

    As the GL Accounts of "Inventory Adjustment" is not as the GL Accounts used in "Purchase".

    Also, the GL Accounts that have been posted before with the wrong amount, will be corrected with the same values by Minus.

    After that, you can post the correct transaction with "Positive Adjustment".
