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.

Important
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. 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 to perform the actions that are described in the following table.

Button Description

Correct

The posted purchase invoice is cancelled.

A new purchase invoice with the same information is created. You can make the correction and then continue the purchase process. The new purchase invoice has a different number than the initial purchase invoice.

A corrective purchase CR/Adj note is automatically created and posted to void the initial posted purchase invoice. On the initial posted purchase invoice, the Cancelled and Paid check boxes are selected.

Cancel

The posted purchase invoice is cancelled.

A corrective purchase CR/Adj note is automatically created and posted to void the initial posted purchase invoice. On the initial posted purchase invoice, the Cancelled and Paid check boxes are selected.

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.
