How to void transactions entered for the wrong Vendor or Customer in Project Accounting?


Resolution

Transactions shouldbe voided in the originating module. In that manner, all modules affected can be properly updated. Unfortunately Project Accounting does not have a void. However,you can enter credit transactions to reverse out the incorrect transaction.


For an incorrect Payables transaction - Employee Expenseoriginating in Project Accounting:


1. Go to transactions| Project| Employee Expense.


2. Enter a transaction with a negative Quantity to offset the original incorrect Invoice.


a. If the original Employee Expense has not yet been billed, enter this Employee Expense transaction as a referenced transaction, and reference the original transaction. Doing so will result in the net value of the transactions showing up as one billing line item in the billing entry window.


b. If the original Employee Expense has been billed or you want the line items to show up independently, enter this Employee Expense as a standard transaction. 


3. Step 2 created a Credit Memo for the Employee/Vendor. So, now you need to apply the Credit Memo to the Invoice. Go to Transactions| Purchasing| Apply to.


Note - The billing type on the transaction will be determined by your billing needs.
