Same document number for reversed/canceled invoice?

vaxo_jj

Hi people,
I'm quite sure you had this kind of situation: when Purchase or Sales invoice is posted incorrectly, it was reversed and now is needed to post new (correct) one. Problem is that an invoice with the document number (vendor/customer invoice number) is already posted. But it is needed to have a correct invoice with correct invoice number.
What can be a workaround for this situation?

The question is why is it "needed"?

If the incorrect inv was reversed using a credit and a new invoice has been created why not just use the newly created invoice number.

Is it law in your country?

E.g. You received an invoice from vendor with vendor invoice number abc001. You've posted it, but indicated posting date incorrectly. So now you reverse it with credit memo and want to post a new one with the same invoice number (to have the correct one in the system). But the invoice with number abc001 already exists.

Ahhh - now I see - when we need to do something like this we usually use the same invoice # and add a
-B or -X at the end.

1234567
1234567-B

add a comment in the po & vendor card if needed.
