@joe: When voiding sales orders / invoices, we may need different approaches to handle payment allocations - prepaid and postpaid.

Make one prepaid sales orde and then cancel it after taking backups at each stage and list the SQLs that change the DB.
Make another normal sales orde and then cancel it and do the same backups.
Now compare the final voidings in both cases and see if any difference exists - if so, the voiding routine may have to be tweaked.

Hello @Joe,

Have you had a chance to look in to this please ?
I know it is old but now I have two such sales orders.

Hope it is something minor.

Thanks,
GJ

Hello,
Thank you for your valuable input as always.

Seems I had allocated payment to this order and also done a "invoice against delivery" for this order instead of 'invoice prepaid order" option.

So it was showing outstanding though the delivery was made.

But having cancelled the 'invoice against delivery' and after processing 'invoice prepaid order' the problem has been resolved.

Though I have another issue going on now.

When I try to print the invoices for customer via reports, this one prepaid order is showing on each invoice of theirs, instead of the invoice for which the prepayment was received.

It seems a minor glitch but this has also stopped showing all the invoices.

When I try to see all the invoices of all customers, I can only see invoices from 1st (latest invoice) to the invoice which has this prepaid orders). The invoices before these prepaid orders dont' show in the pdf file which gets generated.

Check if the specific delinquent sales order is in the previous fiscal year and if it is not closed as yet and work accordingly.

Hi all,

I might be bit slow in updating my version so please ignore that.

I am still using the 2.4.2 version and believe it has been most stable for me in terms or implementing.

But, in my live version I have a sales order ( prepayment order), which never materialized and so I want to cancel it.

In normal case I just go to Sales/Inquiries and Reports/Sales Order Inquiry and then select the order to edit via a little pencil icon which is next to printer icon, and open the sales order in edit mode and simply cancel it.

For this particular sales order I am do not get any option to edit it ( pencil has disappered).

I haven't allocated any payment to it and even in the customer allocations it is pending for allocation of payment.

Is there any way to get rid of this by cancelling this order ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
GJ
