I cannot view a purchase invoice when selecting view document

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 100

Hello

I am trying to reconcile a GB VAT return and i have noticed that a purchase invoice is missing from the return.

I have looked in the Vendor ledger entries and the invoice appears in the vendor ledger, but when i click to view document nothing happens.

i entered the document onto the system so i know it should be there.

That invoice in question does not appear in the posted purchase invoices or purchase invoices report.

I have checked the g/l ledger entries and there is no VAT attached to the transaction so i suspect i have entered the transaction wrong.( i am a student and this is test data that i am using)

i would like to check the document and see where i went wrong ( if i actually did ).?

Can some also let me know if i can amend this entry or do i have to reverse and repost?

Thanks for all replies

    Check whether you have posted the purchase invoice. If yes, go to Posted purchase Invoice and try to correct the invoice. When you click on correct, then a Purchase Credit memo shall be created. Let me know if you have any questions. Screenshot below for your reference

    You can post an invoice through a journal. Which will mean no posted document is created, as that method wasn’t used. It is also possible to not post VAT with a journal. To rectify it you can post a credit memo journal

    Hello Manjunath,

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question and sorry for my late reply to your suggested answer.

    It appears that i posted a purchase invoice through a journal and therefore it does not appear in the posted purchase invoices report, so i am unable to correct.

    Josh Anlesea answer has solved the problem.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Best Regards

    Saleem
