Adjustment postings in SAP Business One are used to adjust, reverse and optimise existing documents and postings in the system. They are essential for ensuring correct financial data and reports.
1. cancellation of vouchers and bookings
- Settings:
- Activation of the option "Cancellation of vouchers" (incl. deadlines) in the voucher settings.
- Prerequisite: No follow-on document may exist.
- Procedure:
- Cancellation via "Cancel/Cancel" in the context menu.
- Cancellation creates a new document (cancellation document) with the next highest document number; the original document receives the status "Open".
- Line-by-line cancellation of vouchers is possible.
- Journal entries:
- Can be cancelled directly, unless they result from vouchers.
- Option: Correction can be made on the debit/credit side (e.g. minus sign in debit).
