Topic: Voiding Transaction and Reference

Hi,

I have entered a JV with certain reference number and later on I made it void.
Then I have to reenter the JV with "SAME" reference as that of voided one. I was not allowed to do so?

Is there any functional reason for this behavior ?
In case of wrong entry of say, payment I have to void the transaction and reenter it with same reference number.

Edit functionality would have helped a lot but till the time we may need to have same reference number for voided transactions.

P.S. - As I am new to FA, excuse me I have got things wrong in operational and functional sense. smile

Thanks,

Chaitanya

Re: Voiding Transaction and Reference

Instead of voiding the Journal Voucher you could have edited it and kept the reference number. This could have been done in Journal Inquiry.
When you void a transaction, the transaction is still there with zero amounts and occupies a reference number.
Unfortunately it is not possible to edit Bank Deposits/Payments at the moment due to heavy complexity with customer/supplier transactions/currency etc. Voiding them will only zero out the amounts and occupy a reference number.
