How to create a purchasing invouce with a negative amount

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AmberPFC 52

I have posted and paid a posted purchase invoice for EUR 200

Now the item had been returned and I have received EUR back on my bankaccount

So I need to post a negative amount.  I can not cancel the previous posted invoice.  So I tried to create a new purchase invoice with a negative amount.  But then I get the message:

Amount must be negative in Gen. Journal Line Journal Template Name=’Journal Batch Name=’line’=Line No.=’0′.

Can anyone help me how can I post this payment, and correct the first invoice?

    You mentioned the Item had been returned.  Did you process a Purchase Return Order, which will allow you to process the reduction of the Item from your inventory AND the credit on the account from the Vendor.

    There are differrent rules in different countries and thus different ways to handle this.

    In this situation in my country I would never try to correct the first invoice. As I understand you the invoice is paid and settled, so you should not change that.

    Instead I would create a purchase credit memo and settle this against the money you received back. I think you can create the credit memo with reference to the original invoice.

    Best regards
