Finding, removing and reversing supplier debits

Supplier Debits Overview > Finding, removing and reversing supplier debits

There may be times when you want to view a supplier debit before or after you've applied it or received a refund for it. MYOB Accounting Plus allows you to easily find the supplier debits you've entered into the system.

Note: You can still use Find Transactions to find supplier debits

You may want to use the Find Transactions window if you're searching for specific supplier debit. There are more detailed search methods available to you if you use Find Transactions than if you use the Purchases Register.

There also may be times when you want to remove or reverse ("unapply") a supplier debit that you mistakenly applied to a purchase, or when you want to remove a refund you received from a supplier. When this is the case, you can quickly remove the effects of such a transaction from your records.

If you want to reverse a debit payment from a supplier that was recorded on a bank deposit for undeposited funds, you'll complete some additional steps. When a payment is recorded in this manner, it is first recorded in the undeposited funds account and then the amount is transferred to the bank account when the bank deposit is recorded. While reversing the payment removes the payment from the undeposited funds account, the additional steps are needed to remove the payment from the bank account.

An important point to consider is whether the supplier debit is changeable or unchangeable. If the transaction is changeable, you can make changes or remove the supplier debit altogether from your ledger.

Unchangeable transactions work differently. By reversing an unchangeable supplier debit, the effects of the original will no longer be part of your ledger; however, a record of the reversed supplier debit, called a reversing transaction, will remain. Then, if you want, you can enter a new, correct transaction to replace the transaction you reversed. See What are changeable and unchangeable transactions? for more information.

If you notice a problem with a supplier debit you've already settled, you can't simply change the debit. You'll need to first unapply the debit -- remove (or reverse) the refund, then re-apply the debit or record a new cheque.
