Void a sales invoice

By using the Void invoice option as an action on a sales invoice that need to be credited, you will save a lot of time. With this action, Visma eAccounting Smart will create a journal entry with the credit note for you and set it off against the invoice. You will receive a notification about the journal entry and can start working on a new invoice. The function of course also works for reversing credit notes.

  1. Go to Sales - Sales invoices - Unpaid sales invoices.
  2. Select the invoice you want to void.
  3. Choose Actions - Void invoice to create and register a journal entry, reversing the selected invoice.
You cannot use Void invoice as an action if the invoice is partly or fully paid, if needed you have to create a credit note and set off against the paid invoice.

Working with the stock extension

If you void a sales invoice that includes stock articles you will get a question whether or not the stock articles should be returned to stock. If you select to return the articles an inbound delivery is created. Visma eAccounting Smart keeps track of every single article and will return the articles to stock with the same purchase price and freight cost as they originally had.

Should you select not to return the articles to stock the program will automatically create an inbound delivery and then immediately create an outbound delivery for the article concerned. The reason for this is to get the sales statistics correct.
