Reverse an AP invoice (PAS)

Reversing an AP invoice in PAS is permission based

To reverse an AP invoice, your account must have one of the following roles enabled:

  • Role: Company Admin, Accountant

  • Custom role with: AP invoices - Full access, Create and manage

You can only reverse Posted accounts payable (AP) invoices that haven’t been previously reversed - Unposted invoices can edited or deleted.

When reversing an AP invoice you have two options:

  • Reverse - Creates a posted reversing transaction that cancels out the original AP invoice. The reversed invoice gets the same invoice number with _R appended

  • Reverse and reissue - Creates a posted reversal transaction and creates an unposted duplicate of the original transaction that you can modify

For both options:

  • If the AP invoice has associated Purchase Orders (POs), you'll be asked whether you want to reopen those PO lines or leave them closed

  • The timing of the reversal depends on the original transaction period - if it was in a closed period, the reversal goes to the current period; if in the current period, it uses the original dates; if in a future period, it stays in that future period

  1. In the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu
