Have you ever needed to apply or unapply an entry in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central? The Apply Entries and Unapply Entries functions are found on the Customer Ledger Entries and Vendor Ledger Entries pages in the cloud ERP.
These functions are used to manually manage the application of entries against each other in the customer and vendor subledgers. Understanding how to use these features is critical for most companies using Business Central, but Microsoft’s documentation on these important features is a bit tricky to find on the web. Here are links to the Microsoft documentation:
