Reverse a Transfer Slip
How do I? | Transfer Overview | Find a Transfer Slip
Editing of saved transfer slips is limited to freight charges and some informational fields and then only until the slip has been sent to Headquarters and/or to QuickBooks financial software.
If an uneditable error is discovered on a slip, it is necessary to reverse the slip and then you can create a new, corrected one to update your history files and store quantities.
To reverse a saved transfer slip:
Locate and highlight the former slip in your transfer history.
Select Reverse Slip from the I Want To menu.
The Reversing Document dialog is displayed.
If not using security, select your name in the Associate field and then select OK.
A reversing slip is automatically created and added to the transfer history list. If necessary, a corrected slip can then made as described here.
Notes:
Transfer slips can only be reversed at a remote store prior to sending the slip to Headquarters. If the slip has already been sent to Headquarters, then it can only be reversed at Headquarters.
Reversing a slip cancels the original slips effect on inventory. For example, if the original slip transferred a unit quantity of three from Store 1 to Store 2, when the slip is reversed a quantity of three is transferred back to Store 1. When completed, the original slip will be marked Reversed in the Status field and the new slip that is created will be marked Reversing. (Note: the Status field is only displayed in the Transfer History list).
A Reverse, Copy, and Correct approach can be used to undo the effects of the original slip and make a new, corrected slip. First, reverse the original slip as described above. Then, begin a new slip by copying the original. Finally, make corrections to the copy and save.
Headquarters: If integrated with QuickBooks financial software and if the original slip has already been sent to QuickBooks, then the reversing slip is also sent and posts in the same manner as any slip. The new posting cancels the effect of the original on your financial records. The original entries are not edited or removed. If the original document has not yet been sent, then both are flagged and neither is sent, so there will be no entries in your financial software for the transaction.
