RE: CustomerAllocations.php Cancelling Delete not working
You cannot amend or delete a transaction once it has been entered. This is by design rather than by accident. As an accountant I have always believed that the integrity of the audit trail of transactions is of paramount importance.
To remove a payment you must enter a negative payment with identical details, and then allocate the two transactions against each other. I realise this seems long winded to non-accountants but it does mean that anybody looking in the future can see exactly what happened. In my opinion, anything else leaves the organisation vulnerable to fraud.
I know that Quickbooks does have the ability to amend or delete transactions, but I think they are principally aiming at one or two person businesses aiming to produce a set of books to pass to an accountant, rather than a full featured accounting application such as webERP.
That said, there are some Z_* scripts that do delete transactions, but they are not well maintained, and I for one don't support them.
Thanks
