Posting a Credit Memo without an Application

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Brian H 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.

    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?
