Posting a Credit Memo without an Application

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

Hello,

How do I post a Sales Credit Memo without applying it to a document? We have occasions where we need to post credit memos for our customers which do not have an open item to be applied to. I thought we had done this before, but now cannot seem to bypass the system requirement for an Applies-to-doc

Many thanks, 

Brian

    Hi Brian,

    The exact cost reversing mandatory on the Sales & Receivables Setup is the only setup in standard. If you still can't post without application, I suspect that you have custom extension installed that prevents you from doing this.

    Create a purchase order. On the Action Pane, on the Purchase tab, select Create credit note. Select the invoice to issue a credit note against, and then select OK. Verify that the Original invoice number and Original invoice date fields are automatically set on the order line.

    hi,

     is there any error showing when you post without any application.

    Thank you Andrew, I found it and it was off, have tried switching on and off again but seems I may have a different issue.

    Check if you have exact cost reversing ticked on the Sales & Receivables setup

    Hi Andrew,

    I am receiving the error "Applies to doc no must have a value in... it cannot be zero or empty."

    Is this controlled by a setting somewhere?

    Hi Brian, if you raise a credit note manually, can you detail the issues you are facing when trying to post?
