What period Accounting posts in when cancelling a payables invoice?
We are currently in version 20A of the Oracle Cloud.
We had two invoices that were posted in Feb 2019 and should have been posted in Feb 2020 in our Prod environment.
- We canceled the invoice that was posted in Feb 2019 and to our surprise it posted the cancelling accounting entry into the Feb 2020 period.
- We tried testing this out in the Test environment and the canceled accounting entry posted in the same period the original invoice was posted. Exactly as we would have expected.
The question is why did it work in Test differently to that in Prod? Why did it post the reversal in a different period than when the original invoice was posted?
