Receipt Written Back (Reversal)
Why Use This Function:
A Receipt Written Back is used when a Receipt has been captured incorrectly. By processing a Receipt write-back, the system adjusts the account with a corresponding positive amount, effectively cancelling out the original incorrect Receipt and restoring the account to its correct state.
💡 Please Note: Using a Receipt Written Back will also automatically correct the Cashbooks and the Cashflow. Never use a Journal to correct a Receipt, as this will cause significant issues in your cash flow and financial records.
