Correcting an Invoice Applied to the Wrong Customer

There are two ways in which to correct an invoice that was recorded using the wrong customer.

If the invoice was not billed to a job contract, then the invoice can simply be reversed and then billed to the correct customer. The procedure below will guide you through this process.

If the invoice was billed to a job contract, then you must first check to see if it was billed through a draw. If the invoice was billed through a draw, then the draw request must be reversed before the invoice can be billed to the correct customer. Once you have reversed the draw request, proceed with procedure below.

  1. On the Site Map, click Accounts Receivable > Data Entry Invoice / Credit Memo.
  2. Click the Reverse button.
  3. At the Customer code field, enter the customer code to which the invoice was issued in error.

  5. At the Invoice # field, enter the invoice number you are reversing.

  7. The Reverse Invoice window displays, defaulting the current G/L date and batch code. Review this information for accuracy and then select the Create reverse item button. Click OK.
