Deleting payments applied to Sales Invoice

I use AccountRight Plus v19.5.  I created a sales order and applied a deposit to it. When I converted it to a sales invoice I then applied the balance owing. The dates are wrong and I need to change them. Normally I would just delete the payment but when I do, I get the message, You may not delete a deposit transaction for a recorded sale.

 

Is there a way around this or do I have the reverse the transaction and if so, how do I do it?

TIA

  • Hi Cate64,

     

    If a sales order has been converted to an invoice, you can't just delete the payment. You'll need to undo the payment and reverse the sale. For more details, please check out this thread, as it provides info on handling payments applied to a sale.

     

    Cheers,

    I have checked out the threads.

    My transaction arrow is not greyed out but I cannot delete the payment.

    I followed the instructions to reverse the payment but reversal does not appear under my edit tab.

    If I could only change the date, then I would be okay.

     

    Any other ideas? TIA

      Hi Cate64 

      If it can at all be avoided, try NOT to record payments against an Order. Convert it to a Bill/Invoice and then apply the payment.

       

      Because the payment was made against an Order, the process to 'fix' is quite convoluted. Even many MYOB moderators have no idea. Both this and the linked article indicate a lack of understanding about the issue or the process to correct. The approach varies depending on whether inventoried items were involved.

       

      If you cannot get a meaningful response from MYOB, get in touch with FGH Tables, they can connect remotely and sort it for you - likely to cost $60 though.

       

      Regards
