- General Billing Invoice Adjustments cannot be Reversed in this way as they are not an Accounts Receivable adjustment type. There are two options for undoing a GB Invoice Adjustment:
- Process an additional adjustment to offset the original.
- Perform a Journal Reversal on the General Ledger Journal created by the Adjustment, then create a Manual Journal with the correct information. (Note: This will not affect the invoice, so this should only be done if the invoice balance is correct, but the accounts are wrong.)
