Undo receipt and Back date posting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

can anyone explain why NAV allows to only undo receipt on back date. For example:

01/04/2017 - Item received.

16/05/2017- Can I Undo receipt on the current date without opening the posting date to 01/04/2017.

what is the behind logic ? And what if we undo receipt as of 16/05/2017 ?

Thank you 

EriAron

    I agree you are in a difficult situation, and I can only think of 2 options:

    1. Open the period to complete Undo receipt

    2. Open the PO, and copy the received lines onto the same PO. When you invoice the PO it will not clear it as PO will have not received lines on it.

    Not ideal, though....

    Thank you for the explanation, Robertas.

    Well, the PO was received accidentally. Posting an invoice will clear the PO from the PO List and we don’t want to clear the PO.

    Hi EriAron

    unfortunately it's just how NAV works. The "Undo Receipt" function is designed to be used for immediate correction (sort of 'oops, wrong purchase order'), and this theoretically should happen in the same financial month.

    Technically the Undo receipt posts an Item journal line to take item out of stock, which has a posting date of the original posting date from the receipt document. Hence you have "posting date not allowed" error if the period is closed. In this case the only thing you could actually do is create an invoice (to get rid of 'goods received not invoiced') and use return document to take item out of stock and credit the original invoice.
