When it is not practical to use the Reinitialize Data Files task to clear the AP check entry files, it would be nice to have a utility for the end user to enter the vendor number and the invoice number to clear the "Paid Today" field in the AP_OpenInvoice file.

Something like ARWAR4 for receivables would be nice. We just use DFDM and fortunately is dosen't occur often at our clients.
here is a duplicate request for this utility 27716. Please see link for additional votes https://www5.v1ideas.com/TheSageGroupplc/Sage100ERP/Idea/Detail/27716
Reinitialize is a potentially dangerous and destructive utility (one mis-click and bye-bye payment history data). A safer, purpose built, utility for this recurring problem would be very appreciated. (We see this problem a couple times every month and I cringe every time, because there is no safe utility for users to run themselves).
It's more than nice. However, the utility should not require all users to exit the system. This is very disruptive to other users, especially in a large user environment. Just clear the Paid Today flag in the AP_OpenInvoice file which should have no effect on other users. Same for ARWAR4. Don't make all users exit to run the utility.
