Reversal of Purchase Receipt

ven

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario where an item was purchased and a warehouse receipt was posted. Now this item is consumed by creating a negative adjustment in the item journal so the net inventory for this item is zero.

For some reasons I want to reverse the purchase receipt but am unable to do using the task "UNDO RECEIPT".

Please Note: Before reversal I have created a positive adjustement and have increased the inventory quantity.

Can anybody help on why I'm not able to reverse this purchase receipt?
I'm using 4.0 SP1.

Thanks & Regards
Ven

The ledger entry created by the receipt is closed from a quantity persepctive - you closed it when you did the negative adjustment. By doing the negative adjustment you told the system you no longer had it - therefore how can you possibly return it? Booking another one in may correct the stock, but the ledger entry where that would be reveresed by doing the unreceipt is not linked to your item, therefore you cannot reverse the receipt. You need to invoice it then credit it.
