Proper Way to Process Credit Notes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 260

Hi All,

In our organisation we process a lot of credit notes, historical if a customer ordered at the incorrect price we would issue a credit note, which is fine.

Issue is that we use the Credit note process using the following

1. Customers orders 10 Items of X @ £11, should have been £10

2. Credit control create a Value only Credit note for 10 items @£1 , the difference. Stock is scrapped.

3. Above works OK, inventory is not affected (scrapped), customer and accounts happy, balances are correct.

4. Issue is we now have a stock loss posted (for 10 items) in our stock account.

So above doesn't work 100%, another alternative is the free text invoice, but we have 1000's of items with different financial dimensions and Vat rates , which would have to be calculated out , for the free text invoice to be correct.

Interested in hearing how other people process credit notes, without affect inventory. 

Thanks,

    Hi D Feely,

    Can you explain step 2 in more detail? Why is the stock scrapped? What is done exactly there?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    The stock is scrapped, as it is not coming back to inventory. This works for damages as well.

    Is we don't scrap the stock, the 10 items we are crediting gets added to our total Stock/Inventory count.

    Thanks,

    Declan

    Hi Declan,

    If I got you right then you do not want to have the scrap and inventory postings but just create a 'value' adjustment and create the credit note for the customer, right?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Yes only a value adjustment no affects on inventory

    Hi,

    Wouldn't it work out of you just add other SO line for a negative amount that is used for creating the credit note? If you use a category or service item there is no effect on your inventory.

    Could that be an acceptable workaround for you?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
