Changing Invoice Numbers in AP

Question

When we run the Supplier Merge Program any Invoices that have duplicate Invoice Numbers are not automatically merged! What we need to do is to change the original Invoice number and then run the Merge program once again. We have enabled the Allow Adjustment to Paid Invoices Payables option and have entered zero amount distribution lines but the system is not allowing us to change this feild under any circumstances. What are we overlooking? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

hi
it will be difficult to find the reason unless i see your payables implementation. so, i would suggest you to run the following script.
hope i have helped you!?!
