Error when adding or importing a AP supplier invoice with a negative line item

If your multi-entity configuration is set up to Limit AP credits to the entity owners, you can only add negative inline credits when each line is for the same entity. If a AP supplier invoice has line items for different entities, negative inline credits are not supported.

I want to prevent unpaid AP supplier invoices from being deleted. How can I do that?

Track changes and maintain an audit trail by reversing transactions instead of deleting them. Enable reversals on the Configure Accounts Payable page. This configuration changes the AP supplier invoices page so that the option to Reverse appears instead of the option to Delete. You can still delete transactions that are in Draft, Posted, and Declined states.
