Changes to Void Historical Payables Transactions throughout GP versions

A minor yet limiting addition introduced in Dynamics GP 2013 for the void process of historical payable transactions made a lot of noise among Dynamics GP clients, because it simply broke the habit of voiding sequential payables transactions (such as checks) which are not necessarily issued to the same vendor. Here is a summary for the different phases of the void historical payable transactions.

GP 2010

Vendor ID was not a requirement in order to void a historical payable transactions. You can simply void several transactions of several vendors by clicking the associated button below.

GP 2013 and 2013 SP2

The new feature was released, I would personally not prefer to call it a feature since it is nothing but a simple “validation” on the void process. Here if you don’t pick up the vendor, you will not be able to void a historical payable transaction. You can not void a list of payable transactions for different vendors.

GP 2013 R2

In the latest release of Dynamics GP R2, the vendor remains but not as a required field anymore, as it was back in GP 2010, you can simply void multiple transactions for one or different vendors.
