I am needing to edit the vendor invoice number to make a correction on a PINV. The edit button on the ribbon is shaded and will not allow me to make that selection. Is there a way for me to edit this? If not, Is there a way for me to delete the PINV and re-invoice it with the correct info?

Thanks

System does not allow you to change any posted documents or entries in the default process and specially if you are using the client license. Normal practice is to pass a credit note and correct the mistake and you want to completely ignore the invoice then post a credit note copying the posted invoice and then re invoice it.

However thre are ways of deleting the posted invoices and for that you need to have a developer license and a developer who has good experience with NAV. However deleting posted entries will have a gap in your posted entries and it is not a recommended practice.

Would suggest take help from developer and then you can modify this field as this field will not have any much impact on ledger entry

As standard process you need to pass Credit memo

ECoffman,

What Alexander suggested is the standard NAV Process for standard NAV field and i.e. Whenever you have already posted an Invoice then Ideally you should go and Post a Credit memo to do some changes or if you want to Roll Back. But if it's like some field which wont effect the ledgers and for custom fields you have created then normally we as a developer use to give some UI or kind of editable option where they can go and do their required changes.

In standard NAV, you are not able to edit this field, however we sometimes do a small customization that allows delegated users to modify that. By default functionality, you would need to post a credit-memo and cancel this invoice (refer here How to: Correct or Cancel Unpaid Purchase Invoices: msdn.microsoft.com/.../dn275882(v=nav.71).aspx ). Then you can post a correct one.
