Resolution

Note: Due to the complexity of adjustments made using Edit, Sage Support does not recommend using Edit to make changes to invoice amounts or accounting dates.

Determine the correct accounting dates and details regarding the original invoice:

  1. In Accounts Receivable, select Inquiry, Entries, Transactions.
  2. Select Current, then select Active.
  3. Click Conditions.
  4. Select Invoice from the Field column, Equal to from the Operator column, and enter the invoice number of the incorrectly voided invoice in the Value column.
  5. Click OK and OK.
  6. Click on Status Date, select Edit Column contents, and click OK.
  7. Select Accounting Date and click OK.
  8. Note the Accounting Dates of the original invoice and any Edit transactions.

Edit the invoice to reverse the changes:

  1. In Accounts Receivable, from the Tasks menu, select Adjust Receivables.
  2. In the Customer field, type the customer ID.
  3. In the Acc date field, type the original accounting date.
  4. Select the invoice and click Edit.
  5. Change the invoice and distribution information back to the original values and change the accounting date back to the original date.
  6. When prompted, choose the reversal option based on the accounting dates noted from step 8 above:
    • If the accounting dates move the invoice amounts from one date to another, select Old accounting date and click OK.
    • If the accounting dates only apply to the amounts added or subtracted to the invoice, select New accounting date and click OK.
  7. Click Finish.
