RE: applies to document no in purchase credit memo is blank why
Hi Ahmed,
These are different tables... The vendor ledger entries can originate from orders (via invoice), return orders (via credit memo), payments, refunds, and general journal postings. They are open items and can be applied with each other.
Purchase invoices and credit memos are a subtype of purchase orders. However, these are a "source" for creating vendor ledger entries. You can give application information in an invoice or credit memo, but this is only filled in by default when you use the "copy document" function, to reverse/cancel an invoice. You can select the entry to apply directly in the credit memo form/page, lookup on "Applies-to Document No.". Or you can use the "Apply Entries" function and select one or more entries. When you do this, the field "Applies-to ID" will be filled in.
The applies-to information is used when the invoice or credit memo is posted. It will be retained in the posted invoice/credit memo, but only if this is the way the application was initiated.
You can also apply posted vendor ledger entries ("late application", from the vendor ledger entries list). When you do this, the application gets posted, but the source document (posted invoice, posted credit memo) will not be changed.
The other part is that you can fill the "Apllies-to Document Type" field when selecting an application, but the application will also work when the document type is omitted. There are certainly some bugs in the standard product here, some for more than a decade, IMO. This only becomes an issue when you have two or more document types with the same document no. In the German localization, it was (partially) fixed by the payment AddOn.
Regarding your example you describe: It doesn't make sense to me. You should directly start with Step #4, the others shouldn't be necessary. But if you do an *unapply* first it would make sense. Assuming you need to do an unapply, the steps you describe sound right. What Version of NAV are you using?
with best regards
Jens
