    Hi

    Is the document fully applied? No outstanding amounts?

    I wrote an article on this a few years ago for GP 10 , should still work for 2010.

    Hello Tai Phat Lam

    We are clear now about your issue, the document is in the "Open" status while it is supposed to be in the history status. It could rarely happen for various reasons. Now the important thing is how to get this resolved, you will actually have to move the records on the SQL level, you will not be reinventing the wheel since someone has already been through the same issue and shared his knowledge on how to resolve this, here is the reference article Dynamics GP Fully applied payments stuck in Open

    Let us know if you do have any further inquiries,

    Hi Bill,

    What your mean "do not complete the process"? Did it crash or something else?

    Tai, I have seen this before when I create a batch of Invoices, do a quick payment and do not complete the process by posting the batch.

    You are correct, the invoice is fully applied, but until you post, it stays with a status of WORK.

    Let us know if this assists you in figuring out your situation.

    Hi,

    1.)  This document that is in WORK, is it a payment?

    2.)  What happens if you drill/zoom back on Document/Payment number in the inquiry window?  Is the transactions displayed?  Can you send a screenshot of this?

    3.)  What happens if you attempt to pull this transaction up in the relevant transaction entry window?  Can you send a screenshot of this?

    Thank you,

    Justin

    Could you please check the "Payable transaction" smart list for this specific document ?

    Make sure to have the columns: current transaction amount and document status.

    What is the current transaction amount for this document ? What does the document status column shows ?

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,

    Hi Mahmoud,

    My case is document status should be HIST but it shows WORK. That document has a payment (fully applied documents) so it needs turn to HIST instead of WORK. I think I miss some action but I'm not sure about that. Example, you open Enquiry/Purchase/Transaction by Creditor then type Creditor ID and check Work in Include option only then click on Redisplay, in my case, one document is found and it should not in there.

    Documents in the AP module could be under the work status, open or history.

    • Work; unposted transactions
    • Open; posted transactions
    • History, posted and fully applied documents. and voided transactions

    So what is your precise case ? Further illustration is highly appreciated,

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,
