Hi Community,
I’ve noticed some inconsistent behavior while trying to unapply entries in Business Central, and I’d appreciate your help in understanding what’s going on.
Here’s what I’m experiencing:
When I unapply entries from an "Invoice" document, I'm able to unapply all applied entries in one go – including multiple payments linked to the invoice.
However, when I unapply entries from a "Payment" document, I can only unapply the invoices one by one. If multiple invoices or credit memos are applied to the payment, I need to unapply them individually.
So basically:
Unapply from Invoice → Works for all applied Payments in one go
Unapply from Payment → Doesn’t work for all applied Invoices/Credit Memos in one go, only one at a time
My assumption is that this behavior might be influenced by the way I applied the entries initially – sometimes I applied Invoice to Payment, and other times Payment to Invoice.
Can someone please explain:
Is this expected behavior in Business Central?
Does the direction of the application (Invoice → Payment vs Payment → Invoice) affect the unapply process?
What is the correct or recommended approach to applying and unapplying entries?
Note: I’ve checked Microsoft documentation but couldn’t find a clear explanation. I would really appreciate a direct answer or explanation without a link.
Thanks in advance for your support!
