    Incorrect customer captured on an invoice and wrong description on another invoice

    Could you please assist in advising how do I go about making correction on the invoice that I captured and used incorrect customer.For example instead of Umgeni I captured Eskom.
    On the other invoice I selected incorrect description,both were captured on Pastel v11 and only realised after I printed the invoices.

    Your assistance would be much appreciated

    Issue a credit note with the exact same description, and make a new invoice for the correct customer and items. You can not delete the invoice, since a number has already been allocated into it, and is now part of the system. The credit note maintains the VAT correctly, and clears out the erroneous invoice.

    Hi Sthembie. If you have not updated the Invoice yet you can make alterations. If, however, you have already updated it then follow the advice given by Justloadit.

    Yes Sthembie - that would be the right way to do it.

    Hi Sthembie - open your invoices and in the rectangle - top middle - (Number) - click on it and a little picture of a magnifying glass appears on the right of the rectangle.

    Click on the magnifying glass icon and a list of all the Invoices that have not been updated will appear. Select the one you want to edit.

    Once the Invoice has appeared on your screen, use your tab button move to the item that needs to be changed.

    In the case of correcting the customer click on the magnifying glass icon at the right hand of that rectangle (top right) and select the correct customer from the list.

    Make the corrections needed, then using your tab button make sure that you move onto the last blank line of your invoice. This ensures that your prices and other details are still correct.

    Then click on "Next Document".

    You may get some screens warning you that the Invoice has already been printed and asking if you want to continue. You may answer yes to those.
