| # Purchase invoice corrections You can use the following methods to make corrections to finalized purchase invoices: Credit notes Use a credit note to correct the invoice amount. A credit note can be related to a single invoice or to several invoices. For details refer to Credit notes. Purchase invoice corrections To change invoice details other than the invoice amount, for example, the pay-to business partner, the document date, or the exchange rate, you must create an invoice correction. On an invoice correction, you can also change the invoice amount. To unapprove the invoice You cannot correct an invoice that has the Approved status or the Approved for Payment status. Before you can create an invoice correction, you must unapprove the invoice. You can unapprove an invoice for payment if the invoice is not fully paid and the invoice is not selected for payment in the Cash Management module. To reverse approval of an order-related invoice, in the Purchase Invoices (tfacp1110s000) details session, on the Specific menu, click Unapprove. To undo the approval for payment, in the Authorize Purchase Invoices (tfacp1142m000) session, clear the Approved for Payment check box for the invoice. After you create the correction, you must approve the cost invoice again and authorize the invoice for payment. To create a purchase invoice correction To create a purchase invoice correction, Take the following steps: Start the Transactions (tfgld1101m000) session and select a transaction type of the Purchase Corrections. The Purchase-Invoice Corrections (tfacp2110s000) session starts. Enter the new data and on the Specific menu, click Process. If the invoice is a cost invoice, the Purchase Invoice Transactions Multi-line (tfacp1120m000) session starts. Enter the transaction details.

If you modify these fields, ERP LN creates a new document with the correction transaction type to reflect the changes. You can change the terms of payment, the payment schedule, and the business partner's address if applicable. If the invoice amount changes, and a payment schedule is linked to the invoice, the Payment Schedule (tfacp1103m000) session starts automatically and you can change the details. Purchase invoice authorization If invoice approval or payment authorization is required for the invoice and you are not authorized to approve the corrected invoice or the payment, ERP LN sets the Invoice Approved and Approved for Payment fields of the invoice to No. You must link a hold reason and an assigned approver to the invoice. The assigned approver must approve the invoice and remove the hold reason. To link a hold reason and an assigned approver to the invoice, on the Specific menu of the Purchase-Invoice Corrections (tfacp2110s000) session, click Invoice Details. The Purchase-Invoice Details (tfacp2100s000) session starts. Enter a hold reason and an assigned approver in the Hold Reason and Assigned Approver fields.
