To cancel an order, do the following:

  1. Go to Commerce > Find orders.
  2. Search for the order.
  3. Select the Order Number.
  4. From the Actions drop-down, select Cancel order.

Once cancelled, the order line quantities and total change to zero, and inventory totals for items in the order reflect that the quantity is no longer reserved or committed. Cancelled Credit Memo and Debit Memo orders no longer appear as adjustments on associated invoices.

    • The payment is unapplied from the order.
    • A new Open Credit invoice is created for the unapplied payment. The Invoice date is the date the cancellation occurred, or if a manual batch is selected, the invoice receives the manual batch date.

      • A new open credit invoice.

    • The payment is unapplied from the prepayment (PP) invoice associated with the original order and transferred to the Open Credit invoice.
    • The payment appears as an available credit on the payer's account.

      • Available credit in the cart.

    If the order had no associated payments, no invoices are generated.
