The document date is being compared against Credit Card Payment Value Date which should not be before the document date. When the document is stuck in unposted source document, we do not allow to post it to an alternate date before the current proposed posting date.

2. Go to the Source Documents View.
3. Filter for All Source Documents.
4. In the search field, search for the ID.
5. Click on Sales Transaction and Go to Payment item tab > Credit Card Payment Value Date is DD.MM.YYYY+1.

You need to cancel this POS transaction and mark as irrelevant both the business transactions for original POS and cancellation POS transactions.

2. In the Unposted Source Documents, find and select the Reversal document: XYZ. (XYZ represents the ID of the Reversal/cancellation document).
3. Press Actions -  View Business Transaction.
4. In the new screen choose Mark as Irrelevant.

This will mark the Reversal as well as the Original Source Document as Irrelevant for Accounting.

Now you can create a new document with the corrected set of dates.
