Reversing a sales invoice will only reverse the Invoice.
Ensure that you make a note of the linked shipment to the Invoice before you reverse the Invoice as you will need to go back to the Shipment to Invoice it again.
If a Period is closed, a validation will pop up 'The entered date is not in an open period'.
If a period is open, then the reversal invoice will be the same date as the original invoice. 


  1. From the Navigation panel, click on Sales>Invoices

  2. A list view of all invoices will display based upon the filter selected in ribbon
  3. Search for the Invoice to be reversed
  4. View the information to ensure that is the invoice you want to reverse is the correct one
    Click on the Shipments tab in the detail area and make a note of the Shipment number.
    You will need to go back to the Shipment eventually and Invoice it. 

  5. Click the  button from the Ribbon

    This permission is restricted, contact Readysell Support if you do not see the button.
