Bulk Correction of Posted Sales & Purchase Invoices in Business Central

Urgent Issue!

Hi All,

We have a scenario where we need to correct a large number of posted sales and purchase invoices (500+ records) in Business Central due to incorrect posting groups/dimensions.

Since posted invoices cannot be edited, we understand they need to be reversed and reposted. However, handling this manually is not feasible at this scale.

Has anyone implemented or come across a bulk solution (custom or standard workaround) to:

Reverse/correct posted invoices in bulk

Recreate and repost them with corrected information

Handle cases where payments or integrations (e.g., eBizCharge) are involved

Any suggestions, best practices, or recommended approaches would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Jinal, Fixing 500+ posted sales and purchase invoices for wrong posting groups + dimensions is a real headache in Business Central no native bulk “reverse & repost” button exists, especially when payments or eBizCharge are involved.

Quick split:

If only dimensions are wrong → use the built-in Dimension Correction feature (search for it or go via G/L Registers → Correct Dimensions). You can filter/select hundreds of entries at once, correct them in bulk, and it updates the ledger without reversing anything. Super safe and designed exactly for this.

If posting groups are wrong → you really do need to reverse the old invoices and repost corrected versions. No standard bulk tool, so most teams go with a custom AL batch job (or ask a partner to build one) that loops through the list, reverses each one (after unapplying payments if needed), creates new invoices with the right groups, and posts them. Handle eBizCharge refunds/voids carefully in the same run. Do this on a copy database first accounting/audit impact is high.

Hi,

If you have Posted all of them in Bulk then you can reverse the Complete Register and it will be like a Reversal in Bulk.

You can see here there are 7 Entries. But even there are 700 you can reverse that in one go.

This is a hard luck to get into scenarios like this - Best way out is write a custom processing only codeunit and handle it there from reversal to recreation to posting. You will need a developer who is having some understanding and he can write. That's the best rescue operation.

Your only two options are to either reverse and repost the invoices, or have a developer create a custom processing only report or codeunit to modify the posted data. I would only recommend the second option if you really know what you are doing in the system. It can work for correcting dimensions, but if the issue is that the wrong G/L accounts were posted because of incorrect posting groups, your best option is probably to reverse and repost.
