This feature is one with which we have simplification of user interface and faster work, but currently only in “Small Business role center” this feature is possibility to correct or cancel already posted sales invoices and Posted purchase invoices, but only if we have item in the lines.(Type is Item in the sales and purchase invoice lines).
You can correct or cancel a posted sales /purchase invoices. This is useful if you make a mistake or if the customer/vendor request a changes
After a posted sales invoice has been partially or fully paid, you cannot correct or cancel it from the posted sales invoice itself. Instead you must manually create a sales credit memo to void the sale and reimburse the customer.
If you have already paid for product on the posted purchase invoice, you cannot correct or cancel it from the posted purchase invoice itself. Instead you must manually create a purchase credit memo to reverse the purchase.
In the NAV 2015 Small Business role center page posted sales invoice window, you can choose the Correct and Cancel button to perform the actions. Below we explained for each action.
Correct->The posted sales /purchase invoice is cancelled. A new sales/purchase invoice with same information is created. You can make the correction and then continue the same sales/purchase process. The new sales/purchase invoice has a different number.
Cancel-> The posted sales/purchase invoice is cancelled. A corrective sales/purchase credit memo is automatically created and posted to void the initial posted sales/purchase invoice
When you correct or cancel a posted sales/purchase invoice, the corrective sales/purchase credit memo is applied to all general ledger and inventory ledger entries that were created when the initial sales invoice was posted. This reverses the posted sales/purchases invoice in your financial records and leaves the corrective posted sales/purchase credit memo for your audit trail.
The below conditions apply to both Cancel and Correct of the Posted sales/Purchase invoices.
1)Posting Allowed
When you Cancel/ Correct the Invoices, system checks the user setup window to see whether it contains a time interval indicating when posting to the company is allowed. If the User Setup window does not contain an interval, the program checks the dates in the “Allow Posting From” /”Allow Posting To” field.
2)Invoice is Corrected once
When you Cancel/Correct the Invoices, system checks the invoice has already been cancelled or not based on the “Cancelled By” field.
3)Invoice is Paid
You cannot correct /Cancel this posted sales/Purchase invoice because it is fully or partially paid. To reverse a paid sales invoice, you must manually create a sales credit memo.
4)Customer /Vendor Blocked (Sell To Customer/ Buy-from Vendor No.).
When you cancel/Correct the Invoices, system checks whether the customer/Vendor is blocked or not.
5)Customer /Vendor Blocked (Bill To Customer/ Pay-to Vendor No).

11)TestExternalDocument
The program copies the number from the “External Document No.” field on the sales invoice.
