Record supplier credit note
If you have received a credit note from a supplier (rather than a refund), you will need to create the credit on the system which you can then use to offset a future purchase with the same supplier.
Add the credit note
-
Go to Purchases > Purchase invoices. Select the appropriate invoice from the list.
-
From More actions select Copy. Select Purchase invoice from the list of copy options.
-
A new copied version of the purchase invoice is shown. Enter a Description then add a minus at the beginning of the line Total. If this is a partial refund, amend the amount accordingly (ensuring that the value is preceded with a minus).
-
Select Save. The newly created credit note is displayed.
