Reversing a receipt when QOH is insufficient

Overview

There is a scenario where a purchase receipt reversal is prohibited by the workflow as it would cause a negative product quantity on hand i.e. insufficient QOH. This could have resulted by the intervened sale shipments between the product purchase receipt and the attempted reversal. The problematic scenario and corrective actions are outlined below


Procedure

If only the invoice data is wrong. You can enter a supplier credit and allocate it to the invoice. Then enter a supplier credit to stand for the receipt. This may be a lot faster than reversing the purchase receipt.
