How can I apply a CM to an invoice and have the CM show on the check stub?

This process of applying a CM is so convoluted. If someone has an easier step by step process I would love to know it.

If the "CM" you mentioned refers to Credit Memo, it will be automatically applied when you cancel the Posted Invoice using the following method.

If you posted the Credit Memo manually, you can apply it in the Customer/Vendor ledger entries.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

There are several ways to apply the credit memo to a posted invoice. One way is by creating the credit based per Yun Zhu's message. Another way is by posting a credit memo manually. After its posted you can apply the credit memo to posted invoices in the vendor ledger entries. Here are the instructions to do it - Reconcile vendor payment receipts or refunds in the payment journal - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

However, either way the credit memo will not display in the check stub. The check stub will only display the list of invoices and amounts being paid.

Appreciate the help! I have figured out how to apply the CM but was told during implementation (last September) that there was a way to apply it so it shows on the check stub. We'd like to be able to just mail the check but since the CM doesn't show as being applied against a specific invoice, we have to include a note as to why the stub doesn't match the check. We just moved from GP to BC and GP handled this without problem, it's hard to understand why BC can't as well.

Thanks again!

don't believe the check stub can show the credit memo no. out of box. Normally the Credit memo will be applied against invoice to reduce the payable first.

If you keep the credit amount on the payment line on payment journal, BC will show error cause it processing line by line and won't process a negative amount.
