If selected, when reverting billing data for the billing event, PSA – Accounting Connector doesn't check whether the billing event is related to a sales invoice or credit note. This means that the related Accounting document is not automatically processed. In addition, if this is selected, you can revert billing data for a billing event item that is linked to a sales invoice or credit note line item.

We recommend that you only select this field as a last resort. If this is deselected, when you revert billing data, PSA – Accounting Connector automatically processes the related Accounting document or displays an error message with information on how to manually fix the issue.
