Cancel a Transaction
Previous Top Next

This can be used to cancel transactions that have been posted to a customer's account.  This may be required to correct posting errors such as invoices and payments entered on the wrong account, incorrect amounts etc. It can also be used to reverse bounced cheques from customers, and is a quick way to credit a full invoice if all the details on it are identical to the invoice. 

1.    Select Gx Sales on the toolbar.
2.   Select Customer Details from the menu.
3.   Enter the Account Code
4.   Click the Transactions tab.
5.   Right-click the transaction you want to delete. 
6.   Choose Cancel Transaction from the context menu. 
7.   Click Yes to cancel the transaction. 
8.   The system will automatically generate a new transaction to reverse the chosen transaction.  Enter a reference for this new transaction e.g. "correction" or "cancel bounced cheque".  
9.   Click Ok.

The new transaction will automatically appear at the end of the transaction list. If the transaction being canceled is an invoice, the system posts a counter credit note to reverse it.  A counter invoice is created to cancel credit notes and a -ve cash transaction will be created to cancel cash transactions. The allocations against the original transaction are automatically undone, and the canceled transaction is matched against the new transaction that reverses it. For canceled invoices and credit notes, you are given the opportunity to print the new counter credit or invoice that is produced.  It shows the exact product codes, quantities and prices on the original form so is a quick way to produce credit notes for complete orders.  Sales analysis is updated and a new comment for this counter invoice or credit note will be inserted into the customer's CRM comment log.  Stock is automatically updated for the credited items, you will need to adjust stock out if this is not required.
