Reapplying Receipts

You can reapply receipts that you previously applied in error before or after posting these items to your general ledger. You can reapply both automatic and manually entered receipts.

When you reapply a receipt, you first 'unapply' the original receipt applications; this reopens each transaction or transaction line that was previously closed by the receipt. However, you cannot unapply a receipt that has adjustments associated with it unless you first readjust the transaction to its original amount. In addition, you cannot unapply a transaction if there is a chargeback against it and the chargeback has any activities against it (for example, another receipt or credit memo).

You can unapply a receipt that was applied to another open receipt, provided that neither receipt is drawn negative by the unapplication. See: Receipt-to-Receipt Applications.

Prerequisites

To reapply a receipt:

  1. Navigate to the Receipts window.

  2. Query the receipt to reapply.

    Note: To include open receipts in the list of values, check the Include Open Receipts box from the Tools menu, or set the AR: Default Open Receipts for Application profile option to Yes.

  3. Select the receipt, then choose Apply.

  4. Reverse applications by unchecking the Apply check box next to each transaction.

    Or, if you applied this receipt at the transaction line level, then choose Apply in Detail and deselect the transaction lines that you want to unapply.

    Receivables changes the Applied Amount for each transaction or transaction line to zero, and increases the Unapplied Amount of the receipt.

    Receivables enters a Reversal GL Date date for each transaction or transaction line that you reopen. The Reversal GL Date is the date to post this reapplication to your general ledger. This date is the same as either the GL date of the original application or, if the original application's GL date is in a closed period, the current date. If the current date is not open, the default is the last date of the most recent open period.

  5. Apply this receipt to a different transaction or transaction line. See: Applying Receipts or Applying Receipts in Detail.

  6. Save your work. Receivables creates reversing journal entries for each application that you reopened.
