Q - Is there a way to DELETE a Purchase Order RECEIVING transaction after it is POSTED? I did not see that the unit of measure was listed incorrectly, and I have now received too many into the system.

A - Yes. The system provides a “Reversing" function in PO Receiving if you find that the receiving transaction was wrong after posting. The process is very simple. You just need to create an identical receiving transaction as the original. The only difference is to enter a “Negative” Quantity for the “Qty Received” field. After posting, system will reverse the original wrong receiving amount from inventory.
