Hello network of experts,
can you tell me if it is possible to change the cost center of an already posted invoice? The cost centers are defined in the Account Segment Values maintenance. I am thinking of making the cost center setup a bit more detailed here than before, and in connection to that, some invoices would need a change of cost center. I am hesitant though if this is kind of value that is carved in stone in Epicor once given to an invoice…
Thanks in advance!
Hi
Once an invoice is posted it is not possible to change the GL code used
OK, sorry to hear that 
But it makes sense. This is a ledger and we never change ledgers. Can you imagine if started to let people change transactions in Bitcoin?
The solution for ledgers, is to create a document that reverses the incorrect posting then enter a new document with the correct posting.
The “unlogicality” in my opinion is that it is “ledger item” as cost center is a management reporting thing mostly, and in other ERPs I have used, cc can be changed/corrected afterwards without having to cancel journal entries.
But maybe that’s just my opinion 
Posting an AR Invoice only captures the revenue sales account transaction. That transaction can’t be changed once posted.
However, you still have up to the point of running a cost capture to modify you COGS gl controls. COGS is tied to shipment, not invoicing.

If it’s in the account number, then it’s a financial reporting thing. If we were talking about Product Group, I’m completely in agreement with you as it only being management reporting.
BTW, often we see the opposite happen. Finance reclassifies the ledger side without correcting the originating documents. Now financial reporting and management reporting are out of sync. What’s the source of truth then? 
This is a problem with every ERP system I have ever used as well. ERP systems that formalize the document/ledger correction methodology are ahead of the game. Kinetic does it in a few places with Cancellation Invoices for example.
