Raise a credit memo using the Corrective Sales Credit Memo Action

Overview: 

  • Correct an unpaid posted sales invoice 

Why do we raise a credit memo using the corrective sales credit memo? 

A corrective sales credit memo is used when: 

  1. Your customer is requesting a partial credit for an invoice;
  2. Your customer has paid an invoice but is requesting a credit on the same invoice;
  3. Your customer has previously applied credit or cash receipts on an invoice but a credit is now required.

Note: If you know your posted sales invoice document number, you can search for the posted sales invoices list in the top right-hand corner of the page.
