A follow-up from a previous question: We had some old vendor bills (2021) and we were told in April 2022 they were not to be paid. I worked out that we can create a reversal JE and apply it, but our director does not like that it says "Paid in Full". She would prefer it say void or be cancelled, but since the period is closed I don't believe it's possible. Is there anything that can be done in this situation?

It depends. Does the vendor bill apply the expense or was it done via item receipt? I think voiding or cancelling implies no posting. So did you really have an expense and stiffed the vendor?

No since the period is closed you cannot change the status of the Bill. The only option is a JE or Vendor Credit applied to the bill which will make it show as Paid in Full We struggle with this monthly and it's a real pain. You either leave all periods open until all pending bills are approved/resolved or move everything to the next month There's no way to edit, change, reverse or cancel out a bill in a closed period that is “good” as far as any controller I've worked for has told me

ok thank you. That is what I thought and was told by NS, but I just wanted to make sure.

You can reopen the period to make changes if you need to, but there be dragons down that path

haha yea I don't think they are going to want to do that so we are pretty limited.
