Adding Entity Dimension to Posted Purchase Invoices

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RANG 25

Imported over 100 vendor invoices (purchase invoices) from Bill.com into BC. 25 of the vendor invoices had Entity Dimensions inserted but the other 75 did not have an Entity Dimensions entered. All 100 Purchase Invoices have posted.

Anyone know how to add an Entity Dimension to a Posted Purchase Invoice? Would like to avoid the need to reverse and re-enter all invoice.

Thanks,

    Hi, as far as I know, there is currently no way to directly change or add the dimensions of the Posted Sales Invoice.

    You might consider using the correct feature.

    More details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/sales-how-correct-cancel-sales-invoice

    Action Description
    Cancel The posted sales invoice is canceled. A corrective sales credit memo is automatically created and posted to void the initial posted sales invoice. On the initial posted sales invoice, the Canceled and Paid check boxes are selected.
    Correct The posted sales invoice is canceled. A new sales invoice with the same information is created, unless the posted sales order was posted from a sales order. In that case, we suggest you cancel the posted sales invoice instead and then make the correction and continue the sales process from the original sales order.

    The new sales invoice has a different number than the initial sales invoice. A corrective sales credit memo is automatically created and posted to void the initial posted sales invoice. On the initial posted sales invoice, the Canceled and Paid check boxes are selected.

    And for General Ledger Entries, there is a new Correct Dimensions feature.

    Hi,

    in this case yzhums is right we dont have any rights to modify anything on the posted data or you can consult with your development partner, please follow the steps to cancel those invoices and make it again with correct data.

    Thanks.

    If you need to change them only for the G/L Entries you could also use the dimension correction tools.
