Deleting a Collection — How FIFO Reverse Flow Works

Sometimes you may record a collection on the wrong resident, with the wrong amount, or to the wrong cash account. In Apt Yönet, deleting a collection is possible and the system reverses this deletion atomically (consistently): it reopens the debts it closed and reverses the cash balance.

Prerequisite

• The collection may have already flowed into normal amounts (cash balance, income reports); deletion reverses these accounts.
• Deletion is irreversible (not even by the browser back button). All operation details are logged to the activity records; if needed, the history can be reviewed and re-created manually, but there is no automatic restore.

1. Go to the Collection Detail page

From the left menu, click Accounts > enter the relevant resident. In the movements list, click the collection row (the green "Collection" movement). The Collection Detail page opens; here:

• Collection amount, date, payment method, cash account
• Affected debts list (which debts it closed)
• If there is an advance: "Remaining as advance" warning

are visible.

2. Press the Delete Collection button

Press the red Delete Collection button at the top of the right panel. In the Delete Collection confirmation modal that opens, the following are visible:

• Red warning box: "Warning! This operation is irreversible."
• Collection info card: #ID, Amount, Date, Cash/Bank, Description
• A summary titled "As a result of this operation:"

3. Check the result and confirm

The "As a result of this operation" list in the modal describes exactly what will happen:

• The N closed debts will be reopened — each debt's credit column is reduced by the deleted amount, and the "Paid" status is cleared.
• A total of X TL of debt balance will be reflected back to the account.
• The collection's distribution records to debts will be permanently deleted.
• The collection movement will be permanently deleted — cannot be undone with the browser back button.
• The operation will be logged in detail to the activity records (history can be reviewed if needed).

To cancel, you can press the Cancel button at the bottom left. If you confirm, press the red Delete Collection button at the bottom right. The operation completes and you return to the account detail; the collection row is no longer visible in the list, and the related debts have returned to open status.

If the collection remained entirely as an advance (not distributed to any debts), in this case the deletion only removes the collection row and the cash movement; the debts are not affected.

Before making mistakes

If a correction suffices instead of deletion, you can inline edit the Description and Cash fields in the collection detail with the pencil icon (without deleting). If only the amount or date will change, deleting + re-adding is the only way.
