Unapplying credit memos

It is weird to see why I cannot unapply a credit memo that I created by crediting the invoice. But I can do so if I create on-account credit first and then apply that to an invoice of your choice.

Case1:

  1. Pull up an invoice in AR
  2. Credit the invoice from actions and complete it.
  3. Now query up the credit memo
  4. From Actions try looking at Applications where we usually unapply the invoice.
  5. Applications option is disabled hence I cannot unapply the invoice from Credit Memo.

Case2:

  1. Create an invoice and complete it
  2. Create a credit memo and complete it
  3. While you are still in credit memo choose actions–>applications
  4. Apply the invoice you have created in the first step and save
  5. From the same credit memo you can now navigate to applications and unapply the invoice.

What is the argument here?

  1. Is tax calculation is driven off of the original invoice’s tax amount? Does not hold good as I have not see that. Probably configurable.
  2. Is accounting driven off of the original invoice? With SLA this is pretty much useless unless you are using standard accounting. I will be a little surprised with that if anyone still using standard accounting after SLA is in place.

Or anything that I am missing that some of you can enlighten me.
