Unable to void an Accounts Payable (AP) Invoice
Issue/Symptom/Question
When we go to Void AP Invoices window and enter in our Vendor ID and invoice number, Penta returns a items is not eligible because a payment had been made. We have:
- Queried the invoice in open payable and it shows as being open and available to pay or void
- Ran an open AP Detail Aging and the item is open
- Verified that the original check that was cut was indeed voided.

Resolution/Fix/Answer
The reason the invoice is not eligible to be voided is that the invoice is part of an inter-company transaction.
- Review the Document record to verify the entries via Finance & Accounting - Inquiries - Document Query.
- 'Void' the invoice, you would need to create a credit memo for the outstanding amount.
- To clear the AP Agings report - process a zero-payment Manual Payment Entry and select the open invoices for this vendor and amount.
