Finalising, voiding and un-voiding a document

What finalising posts to the ledger, and how to withdraw a document without leaving a hole in the number series.

A money document has a status โ€” Draft, Final, Cancelled or Paid โ€” and a separate void state. Status is set on the document itself; Void and Un-Void are buttons in the header of the entry form.

Finalising

  1. Open the document.
  2. Set its Status to Final.
  3. Press Save Document.

Finalising a money document posts it to the ledger. The system writes a journal voucher (JVR) whose debit and credit legs move the right control accounts, entirely in PKR โ€” the same figures a foreign-currency document was booked at, converted once.

RoleControl account
Receivable1200 โ€” Accounts Receivable (Control)
Withholding tax recoverable1250 โ€” Advance Income Tax (WHT Recoverable)
Freight income4100 โ€” Freight Income
Sales tax payable2300 โ€” Sales Tax Payable
Provincial sales tax2350 โ€” Provincial Sales Tax Payable (PRA/SRB)
Freight cost5100 โ€” Freight & Handling Cost
Agent / vendor payable2100 โ€” Agent / Vendor Payable (Control)
Note These accounts are found by code and created on first use, so a brand-new workspace posts correctly without any chart-of-accounts work; an existing one reuses whatever it already has under those codes. The voucher is proved balanced to the paisa before it is allowed to save.
Heads up A document dated inside a closed period is refused, with a message naming the Data Block Date and telling you to re-date the document or move the boundary. Some document types โ€” quotations, document receipts โ€” carry no financial posting at all.

Un-finalising

Taking a document back out of Final reverses its posting: the journal voucher it created is removed. Do it by setting the status back and saving.

Voiding

  1. Open the document. The Void button sits in the page header, beside Cancel and Save Document.
  2. Press Void. It asks for a reason and warns what it does: "The number and its charge lines stay on file โ€” this is reversible with Un-Void."
  3. Give the reason and confirm.

A voided document keeps its number, so the series has no holes. The form shows a VOID tag and the date it was voided.

Un-voiding

The Un-Void button appears on the void panel of a voided document and puts it back at whatever status it held before. Both actions are gated on their own permission, so voiding can be reserved to supervisors.

Heads up Voiding a freight document currently bypasses the period lock โ€” a void can be applied to one dated inside a closed period. Finance vouchers do refuse it. Until this is corrected, treat the Data Block Date as your control on editing rather than on voiding freight documents.
