How to: Correct or Cancel Unpaid Purchase Invoices
You can correct or cancel a posted purchase invoice. This is useful if you want to correct a typing mistake, or if you want to change the purchase early in the order process.
If you have already paid for products on the posted purchase invoice, you cannot correct or cancel it from the posted purchase invoice itself. Instead, you must manually create a purchase CR/Adj note to reverse the purchase, optionally managed with a purchase return order. For more information, see How to: Process Purchase Returns or Cancellations.
In the Posted Purchase Invoice window, you can choose the Correct button or the Cancel button. When you correct or cancel a posted purchase invoice, the corrective purchase CR/Adj note is applied to all general ledger and inventory ledger entries that were created when the initial purchase invoice was posted. This reverses the posted purchase invoice in your financial records and leaves the corrective posted purchase CR/Adj note for your audit trail. In the following the use of Correct and Cancel is described.
