Appointment Billing Correction: General Information

In MYOB Acumatica, if you need to correct information in an already-released invoice that originated from an appointment, you reverse the invoice, correct the appointment, and generate a new invoice. The correction of the appointment can involve adding or deleting detail lines, editing items in the detail lines, or editing the prices.

Note: The process of correcting billing documents originating from appointments can differ depending on the type of the billing document. The Appointment Billing Correction: Other Document Types outlines the processes of billing correction when different billing documents are involved.

Correction of an Accounts Receivable Invoice Originating from an Appointment

To correct an appointment billing, if an accounts receivable invoice was used for the billing and it has the Open status (that is, it has been released), an accountant must first reverse this invoice. On the Billing Documents tab of the Appointments (FS300200) form, the accountant finds and clicks the reference number of the invoice. The system opens the invoice on the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form in a pop-up window.

On the More menu (under Corrections) of the Invoices and Memos form, the accountant clicks Reverse and Apply to Memo. The system creates a document of the Credit Memo type and opens it on the current form. The accountant releases the credit memo, which causes the credit memo and the original invoice to be assigned the Closed status, and closes the form. On the Billing Documents tab of the Appointments form, the system adds a row with the AR Credit Memo document with its reference number.

On the Appointments form, on the More menu (under Corrections), the accountant clicks Unclose to unclose the appointment. The accountant then makes the needed corrections to the appointment. After that, they can process the appointment billing once again.
