Purchase Receipt delete not possible, receipt date changed

Hi All,

Created a Purchase Receipt and it reflected the Stock with the quantity, later realized the receipt date was wrong. So, user tries to edit the receipt date and click Close receipt.

Then user created an another Receipt with correct date. Now user wants to delete the 1st receipt and reduce the Stock, when we try that, system showing below error message. How can we delete the wrong receipt and reflecting the stock as well (does it affect any accounting)

  • Not sure if this is the "proper" way to do things, but when we have something received in wrong (wrong quantity, wrong date, etc), we do a purchase return.  We pull in the specific receipt and validate the purchase return.  This removes the product from inventory and a journal entry is created to reverse the entry from the receipt.
