Assume that you have a document (such as a purchase invoice), for which the deferral schedule has been
already generated, but you need to cancel this document or to adjust its document amount. You
cannot cancel or delete a document that is already being processed in the system.
Instead, you
can create an adjusting document, such as a purchase credit note
for a purchase invoice, which allows you to either reverse the original document or to correct the document
amount.

As with the original document that contains items with deferrals, the adjustment document also requires deferrals.

You can create an adjustment document either manually (and link the deferral schedule of the original document to it), or by reversing an original document (so that the deferral schedule will be associated with the original document automatically).
