Credit notes against Purchase Orders

Hi,

We are receiving funds back from a vendor but not in return of any items, therefore we do not want to adjust the inventory with the credit note.

How do I raise a credit note against a PO without adjusting the stock? I can only find a way to do it which adjusts the inventory.

Thank you,

Olivia

Credit notes against Purchase Orders

If the credit note is for purchased items where the purchase cost is being adjusted, I recommend using an item charge on a credit memo. I wrote a blog post about using this method here. In this case, the purchase journal can work but it will not update your inventory subledger so if you do any reporting off of that then it won't accurate, which is why I recommend the item charge method.

Turning off Return Receipt on Credit Memo is not going to do what you want. I'm not sure why that was recommended as its wrong. Turning off that setting will simply not create a return receipt document, the item is still going to be returned in to inventory.

Hi, You can try Purchase Journals, so that only the amount moves, not the item.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
