User deleted a purchase credit memo document

Posted on by 4,084

 Hi 

 A purchase credit memo craeted with incorrect information. The Cancel button is not avaailble. user hit the delete button. deleting this document did not change anything in GL or in the Vendor file. In GL and Vendor File there are still records and they are not deleted.

It's understood now that correct action was to create a dummy invoice to offset the credit memo.

The question, what;s the impact of the deletion action above.

Thanks

    Hi, I recommend creating a dummy Sales Invoice to reverse the original Credit Memo (Same quantity and amount) and never delete the data in Ledger Entries directly. Because it may also be associated with Vendor Ledger Entry, Value Entry, Vat Entry, etc. tables.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Either create a record deletion tool and delete the entries from all the ledger entries.

    or put a reversal entry to remove the accounts impact and posted the Purchase credit memo again so the accounts are reflect with proper documents.

    Hi,

    Cancel action is only visible in Posted Purchase Credit Memo when you have created and posted purchase credit memo using cancel or correct action in Posted purchase Invoice only.

    Since you have delete the Posted Purchase credit memo it is only deleted from Purchase Credit Memo table and not from the ledger entries table.

    So you would still see the ledger entries for that Purchase Credit Memo and which can cause issue when auditing the accounts.

    If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much.
