You can select the reason due to which the invoice is to be reversed. You can also enter a unique number identifying the reversal document that would be generated. Otherwise, the system would generate a unique number identifying the reversal document if you have opted for the automatic numbering type. This page also allows you to record your observations regarding the reversal of the invoice. The system updates the status of the reversal document as “Authorized”. The system also updates the status of the invoice as “Reversed”. The system also stores the login ID of the user and the system date along with the invoice details.

Financial Postings

The system reverses all the financial entries that have been posted in the finance book after the invoice is authorized.

If the “Post Rate Variance for Expenses To” drop-down list box is set as “Direct Expense Heads”, the system posts the rate variance expense to the respective expense account of the order line.

The system stores the login ID of the user and the system along with the invoice details.
