Credit Notes to Suppliers - Reversing a Receipt

For a general overview of the process for accepting a credit note from a supplier, see Credit Note from Supplier.

You will enter the reversal of a receiving document as a line with a negative quantity. In this case, the program will treat the line as a reversal. For this purpose, find a lone with the same price on the date or before the negative receipt to calculate the correct value of stock.

If you reverse multiple lines of a receiving document with different prices, you must create the same number of lines in the reversal. We recommend you use the Adding a Movement - Reversing a Document function.

If a reversed receipt has ALREADY BEEN COMPLETELY ISSUED  using the FIFO method, the value of the issue WILL NOT be changed. This means that the incorrect value of the stock might be displayed. The incorrect value of the stock will appear if, for example, the receiving document you would like to reverse has been used up.  If you would also like to change the value of the issue, the reversal of the receiving document must occur chronologically BEFORE the issue of the same goods.

Example 1: A reversed receipt that (by FIFO method) has already been issued, but not completely

You're reversing 10 items from the first receipt, which WILL ALREADY AFFECT the value of issues, although the reversed quantity is not yet included in the value of the issue. Simply put, you're reversing a receipt which by the FIFO method has already been partially issued. In our case, the receipt from 6.3.2001. The sale of the remaining quantity will be correctly valued in this case, and there will be NO remaining value of the stock.

Primer 2: Reversing a receipt that (by fIFO method) has already been completely issued and leads to a remainder in the value of stock

You're reversing 10 pieces of another receipt, which WILL AFFECT the value of issues THROUGH ITS ENTIRE VALUE. Simply put, you're reversing a receipt that has already been completely issued by the FIFO method. In this case, the receipt from 7.3.2007.

The sale of the remaining quantity will lead to a remainder of the value of the stock even after the entire quantity has been used up.

In cases where goods have been entirely issued by a chosen valuation method (in this case, FIFO), the reversal of the receipt must be dated BEFORE the issue!

In this example, it will suffice to date the receipt on 8.3.2007 and once again refresh stock.
