Direct Payment Numbers

Direct Payment Numbers

A direct payment entered with incorrect date or GL that needs to be reversed. If i issue a direct receipt and cancel the payment. Going back to correct the payment, the system gives me the next payment number. My issue with this method is that i need that payment number and cant use the next payment number, because in my petty cash book, that number is already used by another transaction. How does one rectify incorrect direct payments without losing the payment number on the system. Rather then give other options as reference so one doesnt just rely on system given reference number or make it the same way as receipts where you can manually enter the number.
