Hello,

I have a technical question regarding Business Central OnPremises Invoice Posting.
Is it possible to delete/unpost the posted invoices, along with all the information in all the environments this invoice has affected?
If yes, how can it be done?

Thank you in advance for your responses.
Regards,
Andri

    not sure why you need this, deleting posted invoices will cause issues going forward. BC might reference the info on the posted invoices regardless of whether it is deleted or not, and BC will throw error. 
     
    So it is Never recommended to delete a posted document. If something needs to be fixed, user needs to reverse the posted document properly depending on the issue.

    Hi,
     
    There is default process available in business central (below screenshot) to correct or cancel posted invoice.
     
    read the Tooltip for actions to understand the difference between three options.

    Only way is to post the opposite = Credit Memo. 
    In the Posted Invoice list there are buttons to Create Corrective Credit Memo, Cancel the Invoice or Correct it. All 3 options involve creating a Credit Memo. The difference between them can be read by moving mouse pointer on these buttons. 

    Deletion is not an option, as it is not legal in accountancy. Therefore only solution is posting reversal/correction/opposite entry.
