• Message number: 350

• Message text: Deleting the advance is not permitted

What causes this issue?

You are trying to delete a previously entered advance from &V1& &V2&.
In order to make it possible to document the history of advances
accurately, advances that have been entered in the past cannot be
changed subsequently.
The advance is therefore not ready for input and cannot be deleted.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Enter a new advance with the same amount but as a negative value. Since
the amounts cancel each other out, you thus cancel the advance amount.
