Cancel a Purchase Invoice

Note
Before cancelling a Purchase Invoice, ensure that the items in the Purchase Invoice are available in stock. This avoids having the error of insufficient quantity.

If you accidentally posted a purchase order for the incorrect amount or to the wrong Vendor, you can cancel it by following the steps below:

  1. Select Posted & Archived Documents in the Role Centre, then Posted Purchase Invoices.

  2. Use the Search option to locate the required Posted Purchase Invoice in the list, and then Open it.

  3. Select Correct from the menu bar, followed by Cancel Invoice.

  4. The following message will appear, informing you that a purchase credit memo will be created and posted. This will result in the purchase invoice being reversed. Select Yes.

  5. You’ll get the following message if the original purchase order was posted before the day you’re cancelling the document. Select Yes.

  6. After that, you’ll see this message. This confirms that the credit memo was successfully posted. You are not required to open this, but you may do so if you so wish.

  7. You’ll need to create a new purchase order if it was posted incorrectly.
