Voiding

It is possible to totally void a sales invoice, by using the header button "Reactivate" and then the action "Void", this action implies:

• Openbravo automatically generates a new reversed document in the "Sales Invoice" window, and informs about the reversed document number created. This new reversed document is created as described below:
  • The "transaction document" used by Openbravo is "Reversed Sales Invoice". To learn more visit Document Type.
  • This document is exactly the same as the original one being reversed but the invoiced quantity is negative.
  • You can change both the "Invoice Date" and the "Accounting Date" of the reversed document prior to get it posted.
  • The "Reversed Invoices" tab list the original invoice being reversed as now both of them are linked.
    To learn more visit Reversed Invoices.

The reversed document posting creates the following accounting entries:

Account	Debit	Credit	Comments
Product Revenue	Line Net Amount		One per invoice line
Tax Due	Tax Amount		One per tax line.
Customer Receivables		Total Gross Amount	One per invoice
Discount Revenue		Discount Amount	One per Invoice Line (if discount exits)

And it is also possible to partially void a customer's invoice by:

• manually creating any of the available reversed sales documents, in the "Sales Invoice" window:
  • "AR Credit Memo" or
  • "Reversed Sales Invoice"
• which besides must be manually linked to the invoice/s being reversed in the "Reversed Invoices tab".
  To learn more visit Reversed Invoices.

The "AR Credit Memo" posting looks the same as the "Reversed Purchase Invoice" posting.

The main different between those two purchase reversed document types is:

• AR Credit Memo invoiced quantity is a positive quantity
• and Reversed Sales Invoice quantity is a negative quantity

We strongly recommend you to use the "Reversed Sales Invoice" document type while partially voiding customer's invoices.
