Please Help! One of our employees entered an invoice with a document date of 12/13/2012 instead of 12/13/2011 and I have posted her batch. Her posting date was 10/23/12 so thats ok. I need to void the open invoice so it wont mess with our open aging and payables report but I keep getting the message "The void date cannot be before the document date." Anyone have suggestions on what I can do to ensure no discrepancies during end of month closing? Thanks so much!!

If you void the AP voucher in December, posted October when the original gl transaction recorded, nothing happens. You will have a difference between your gl and sub-ledger for the two months between the dates, but financial reporting will not be affected because gl reversing entry is in the same period as the original transaction. To be honest, I don't believe this even shows up on your aging unless you specifically choose to see voided transactions on your AP trial balance.

I can make the void date the date of the document but I'm wondering what it will do to my aging payables or my payables balance for October if I make the void date a future date outside of this month.
No problem Britni. In Purchasing > Void Open Payables Transactions, are you getting this error when you set the Void Date to the doc date and the Posting Date to the original GL posting date?

This was a payables invoice. Sorry, I should have stated that.
Hi Britni,
You can void the sales doc using the previously incorrect document date and the same posting date to match the GL.
