Hello,

If we are using invoices and then bank statement to reconcile these
invoices, the cancel button of the bank statement is not working.

In fact, we are creating an invoice, than the customer pay it and we
reconcile it into the bank statement => we confirm it and the entries
are create with the reconciliation between the bank entry and the
invoice entry.

If we have made an error on the bank statement (for example date of
payment or account), we would like to cancel the bank statement but if
we press the button "Cancel" we have a message saying that we can not
cancel an entry which is posted...

So my question why such a button if we can not use it ?
I think we shoul change the button to cancel the entry, unreconcile the
entries and cancel the statement.

Regards

Hi Luc,

isn't this related to the Financial Journals setup? If yes, please check the settings in the journal used for this bank statement.
Menu -> Financial Management -> Configuration -> Financial Accounting -> Financial Journals.
Here you can define if a journal entry is allowed to cancel and if a draft state for lines is skipped.

Thanks for your comment, but it is really a problem and not a question of parameter => just test it :-)

You can cancel by unreconcilling the entries first.
