Hii There ,

in business central can we unapply the specific Customer ledger entry. as in this as per base validation i need to unapply the all applied entry from customer ledger entry before any specific entry is unapplied.

i am working on BC 26.1 for your reference.

if you know any possible method through that we can directly unapply entry as in current case user need to unapply all entry and reapply that again.

Thank You.

Hello Kamal,

In Business Central, the standard behavior for customer ledger entries requires that you unapply all applied entries before you can unapply a specific one. This is a built-in validation to maintain application consistency across payment and invoice links. Unfortunately, there is no standard functionality to selectively unapply a single entry from a group of applied entries.

To enable this, you would need to consider a customization, such as developing an action that allows selective unapplies by modifying the application logic. However, this must be done carefully to avoid data inconsistencies in the Cust. Ledger Entry and Detailed Cust. Led. Entry tables.

Hope this answer will help you!

Regards,
Mansi Soni

Unapply is a standard functionality which you can do but make sure it triggers per transaction wise.

You cannot unapply a specific customer ledger entry without first unapplying all subsequent applications.

Hi Kamal,

You're asking whether it's possible to unapply a specific Customer Ledger Entry in BC 26.1 without unapplying all related entries first.

By default, BC doesn't support partial unapplies once an entry has been applied, the system treats all linked transactions as part of one group, meaning you need to unapply the entire set before selecting a specific one.

Here’s how it works and what options you have:

Standard Unapply Behavior

Navigate to the Customer Ledger Entries page

Select the entry > Actions > Unapply Entries

BC will require that all linked entries be unapplied together

Why This Happens

Applied entries are stored in the Detailed Cust. Ledger Entry table

BC treats them as a connected block for accuracy and consistency

Partial unapplies aren’t allowed to avoid breaking ledger or VAT settlements

Possible Customization Path

You could explore a routine using codeunit CustEntry-Apply Posted Entries

This requires custom handling of Apply Unapply Parameters and reversing a specific Detailed Cust. Ledger Entry

Be cautious—invalid application rollbacks can break audit and aging reports

Hello,

Beyond the version, this comes to be a standard operation. My understanding is that there is no update or upgrade to change it.

I hope I can help.
