Updating a Check or Invoice

You can reverse a check or an invoice, or both in a single step. If you reverse a check, the invoices are reinstated as open payables. You can also reverse the invoices that were paid by the check. This reverses invoices and associate payments that should not have been booked. This feature saves considerable time, and ensures the accuracy of reversing entries. You can also change the cash and discount account number after an invoice is posted and is considered an open payable. Once an invoice is paid, the cash and discount account numbers cannot be changed.
