The system throws error message: Posting on date DD/MM/YYYY blocked, Release not Possible.

When creating a cancellation invoice, the document will take the details from the original invoice, this includes the post date which in this case is the invoice date.

As the period is closed you can either open it or add a new posting date under the accounting section of the general tab.

If a manual invoice is created with a blocked posting date, the approval process will continue but the invoice can't be released, unless the posting date is changed.

You will need to send the document back for revision. Make the changes, release and approve the documents again.
