    This transaction didn't originate in Receivables Management. Reversing entries will be made in Receivables Management and General Ledger only. Do you want to continue?

        • In Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 or Microsoft Business Solution – Great Plains 8.0, point to more on the Extras menu, and then click Create Return.

          Note

          Click OK if you receive an error message resembles the following:

          The RMA Type selected is invalid for this process.

      3. In the Create Return window, clear the Create RMA check box, and then click OK.

      4. Enter the required information to create a SOP Return transaction.

    2. Use the appropriate step:

      • In Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0, click Actions, and then click Post.

      • In Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 or Microsoft Business Solution – Great Plains 8.0, click Post.

    3. Apply the Return transaction to the original invoice. To do this, follow these steps:

      1. On the Transactions menu, point to Sales, and then click Apply Sales Documents.

      2. Enter the customer ID in the Customer ID field, select Returns in the Type field, select the newly created return transaction in the Document No. field, and then select the invoice that you voided in Receivables Management.

      3. Click OK.

      This will reverse the effect of posting to General Ledger, Inventory (if registered), and Receivables Management.
