Reversing a posted purchase receipt (RCP) transaction in NAV 2017

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 50

Hello,

I am trying to clean up the old posted purchase receipts that do not have a matching purchase invoice. My understanding is that I can only reverse a posted purchase receipt if it is only in the current month/period. What is the correct way of reversing a posted purchase receipt from prior periods? 

Thank you,

Kami

    You need to update the Allow Posting Dates on User Setup or GL Setup temporarily to post the transaction.

    How about when there is no inventory after posting the purchase invoice using the available purchase receipts? The credit memo won't allow the completion of the post. What do you suggest then?
     
    This will help a ton.
     
    Thank you!!

    Hi,

    Try to remove values from Alloy Posting From and Allow Posting To from User Setup table for your USER ID. and then try to reverse Purchase receipt/Invoice.

    Regards,

    Hi, How about post a dummy purchase invoice for the month and then reversing it with a purchase credit memo?

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Hi Nitin,

    Thank you for your reply. It will reverse only if you are in the current open period. I am trying to fix items from 2020-2021 where my accounting periods are closed and I am not intending to open them. I want to reverse the old posted purchase receipts transactions in the open period which is May 2022.

    Best,

    Kami

    Hi,

    After posting purchase receipts item ledger entries increase the stock.

    So you have to do the undo receipt function by going to that particular posted purchase receipt > line form and then select Undo Receipt function.

    It will reverse the stock.
