cheque replacement

Hi,

I paid 2 invoices with 1 cheque.  One of the invoices on the cheque was cancelled by the vendor and the vendor returned my cheque to me. I reversed both invoices by creating negative invoices with the same invoice number/ same info/same accounts/ same tax and adding R to the end.  I paid the negative invoice with the same cheque # but added R to the end. Now I need to enter the new invoice that I want to pay but my invoice # has already been used.  What is the convention for this?

Thanks

    What I usually do is put a period after the end of the invoice number.

    If you reverse an invoice using the automatic adjustment feature of Sage 50 Canadian, there won't be an invoice in A/R or A/P with the same invoice number (it completely removes / rewrites the invoice data in those modules).

    When reversing a paid invoice it's usually best to start with reversing the payment, since reversing the invoice or adjusting the invoice to a lower amount will create a 'credit note' that can't be edited later.
