Payables : Payable Batch Procedures : Reversing Posted Payables

Reversing Posted Payables
Until you process a check for a payable, you can reverse a payable directly from the Payable screen. After you have processed a check for a payable, you must void the check before you can reverse the payable.
When you reverse a payable, Voyager creates a new payable record with negative amounts to back out the original payable. Voyager references the control number of the related transaction in the Notes field of the reversed payable and its reversing negative payable. The word Reversed appears at the top of the screen for a reversed payable, and the word Reversal appears on the screen for a reversing payable.
