Deleted the attached incoming document from a posted purchase invoice

I need to delete a copy of an invoice from the incoming document section of a posted purchase invoice (the wrong invoice copy has been attached and needs to be replaced).

I have followed the instructions below but get an error message and the document is not deleted (the enforced digital voucher functionality is not turned on). We have not had this issue previously. Has anyone else seen this and know of a way to delete the document?

Thanks

Remove a connection from an incoming document record to a posted document

You can remove file attachments from non-posted documents at any time by deleting the related incoming document record. If the document is posted, then you must first remove the connection from the incoming document record.

Choose the icon, enter Incoming Documents, and then choose the related link.
Select the line for an incoming document record connected to a posted document that you want to remove, and then choose the Remove Reference to Record action.

The connection to the posted document is removed. You can now proceed to connect another incoming document record to the posted document as described in this article.

Hi,

I was getting error when trying to remove the attachment when the status is "posted" Somehow I was able to remove either way, but I noticed that the Attachment updated every time it was removed, for exam[le before I had FW 11.18 and when I removed it attached a new one here

According to the official documentation it is not possible to delete attachements you can only add new ones when the document is posted.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/across-how-setup-digital-vouchers?WT.mc_id=email&sharingId=DX-MVP-5005315

What I would do is just to add the correct attachement and then make a note on the incorrect attachement,

If you really need to delete the attachement your partner should be able to assist you with that through AL Code.

But it my experience adding the correct attachement should be sufficient.

Hi

You could copy the error detail and see in which extension/function the error is generated.
