How do I unapply a credit memo that has already been fully applied for a
check that has been voided?

Suppose I have a Credit Memo for $100 and an Invoice for $500. Let's say I
fully apply this credit to the invoice. Then I pay the invoice for remaining
balance of $400.

Let's say I void the $400 check, the Invoice is automatically back in the
OPEN tables, but the fully applied credit memo still remains unapplied in
HISTORY. How do I get the credit memo unapplied and back into OPEN tables for
re-use?? Thanks

GPLoveHate,

The only known GP-interface way to unapply a document in history is by using
the Professional Services Tools Library (PSTL).

Mariano,

Actually I am able to void the payment/check that has already been posted by
going to Transactions - Purchasing - Void Historical Transactions.

When I void the check, it sends the historicaly invoice back to the OPEN
table, however, the credit memo still remains in history.

Did you mean to say that the only way to unapply a credit memo in history is
by using the PSTL tool? Because you mentioned the only way to unapply a
document in history is by using PSTL.

But how come when voiding the check it does not automatically unapply the
credit memo from the invoice and bring both documents back to OPEN table?

Thanks

GPLoveHate,

Two things:

1) You mentioned originally "unapply a credit memo". To unapply a historical
doc, you can use PSTL, besides the point, void works when you need to void
and re-enter the doc.

2) The difference between what PSTL does and the void does is with PSTL you
make the document available again to reapply anyway you see fit. With void,
you cannot reuse the document (CM, IVC, PMT, etc) and are forced to enter a
new one in it's place -- this is why many people end up adding suffixes to
their docs.

I think the 'unapply' tool applies to Sales (receivables) documents and it
looks like he was talking about payables documents. So voiding will work fine
probably.

I found out how: Go to Void Historical Transactions (not Void Open Transactions) and click on the Doc Type drop down box in the upper right hand corner. Select Credit Memo and all the credit memos appear. click on the box that corresponds to the credit memo you want to void and click Void!

I tried looking online, but can't find anything of the such. Which Professional Service Library Tool are you guys using to get this feature? GP is by far the worst program I have ever used and it's ridiculous that they charge for each support call and these additional tools.
