How to Reverse or Undo a GANI Allocation

If you’ve mistakenly allocated the wrong items against an invoice in the Goods Accepted Not Invoiced (GANI) account, the system doesn’t allow for a direct reversal. However, you can resolve the issue by following these steps:

Steps to Correct a GANI Allocation

1. Post a Credit Note

• Create a credit note for the incorrect allocation.
• Post the credit note to a nominal account of your choosing (e.g., a "Write-Off" nominal).
• This step effectively offsets the incorrect allocation.

2. Repost the Invoice

• Repost the invoice with the correct items or allocations.
• When reposting, match the invoice to the same nominal account you used for the credit note.
• This will ensure the amounts net off each other in the accounts, leaving no residual balance.

Result

• The incorrect allocation is corrected through the credit note and reposted invoice.
• The purchase ledger will now show the correct items and amounts.
