Explanation

Dynamics 365 Business Central: Reversing Posted Purchase Invoices

This question tests your knowledge of the three credit memo actions available on the Posted Purchase Invoices page in Business Central, and which scenario each applies to.

The Three Actions Explained

Action	What It Does	Posts Automatically?	Editable?
Correct	Reverses the original invoice AND creates a new editable draft invoice	Yes (the reversal)	Yes (new invoice)
Create Corrective Credit Memo	Creates an unposted credit memo you can modify before posting	No	Yes
Cancel	Immediately posts a full reversing credit memo - no editing	Yes	No

Why Each Position is Correct

Position 1 → Correct Used when you need to reverse and replace the invoice with a corrected version. It simultaneously posts a reversing credit memo and opens a new draft invoice pre-populated with the original data. This is the "fix the mistake and reissue" path.

Position 2 → Create Corrective Credit Memo Used for partial reversal. Because the credit memo is created in an unposted state, you can edit the lines - reducing quantities or amounts - before posting. This is the only action that gives you line-level control over how much to reverse.

Position 3 → Cancel Used for complete reversal with no changes needed. It posts a full reversing credit memo instantly. You cannot modify anything; it mirrors the original invoice exactly and marks it as cancelled.

Common Mistakes

Confusing Cancel and Correct: Both perform a full reversal, but Correct additionally creates a new corrective invoice. Using Correct when you just want to void an invoice creates unnecessary draft documents.
Using Cancel for partial reversals: Cancel is all-or-nothing. You cannot adjust quantities - it will always reverse 100% of the original.
Forgetting Create Corrective Credit Memo is unposted: Students sometimes expect it to immediately close the invoice. It requires a separate posting step, which is precisely what makes it suitable for partial scenarios.
