Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Correct or Cancel Unpaid Purchase

How to Correct or Cancel Unpaid Purchase in Business Central

You can correct or cancel a posted purchase invoice. This is useful if you want to correct a typing mistake, or if you want to change the purchase early in the order process.

If you have already paid for products on the posted purchase invoice, you cannot correct or cancel it from the posted purchase invoice itself. Instead, you must manually create a purchase credit memo to reverse the purchase, optionally managed with a purchase return order.
