Knocked off: what a settlement writes, what un-does it, and how to read one that half-worked · presentation 3 of 4

What un-does a knock-off, and what each route leaves behind

You can say what voiding the receipt, voiding the invoice, deleting one contra…

Void

Step 1 — Know what voiding the receipt does to the settlement

You will know what a void of a receipt actually removes.

What this step names
  1. On a tenant that holds the contra reversal subscription
  2. The void job finds every contra row the receipt takes part in
  3. On either side
  4. Deletes them
  5. Then re-sums the Contra and Balance figures of every document that was…
  6. The receipt's own balance returns to its full amount

Step 2 — Know that voiding the invoice does the same from the other side, and that the settlement never blocks it

You will not expect a payment to protect an invoice.

The routes that are not a void

Step 3 — Know what delete-contra does, and does not

You will reach for the smallest tool first.

Step 4 — Know what Undo to Draft leaves in place

You will know why an undone receipt still shows as paying an invoice.

The other knock-off

Step 5 — Know what the quantity knock-off gives back, and when

You will know why the order's balance comes back before the stock does.

What this step names
  1. The third knock-off
  2. The quantity an invoice took off a sales order
  3. Has its own subscriber on the void primary
  4. It is also the one subscriber the undo primary has

Step 6 — Know what nothing un-does

You will send three kinds of correction to the right place.

What this step names
  1. First
  2. The settlement line on the document itself
  3. The money taken at the counter: that is Doc Open
  4. Not a contra
  5. No contra route touches it; a wrong method
  6. Reference or amount on a finalised receipt is corrected in Settlement Adjustment
