Crediting Purchase Invoices

If you want to credit a Purchase Invoice that has been sent to you, follow these steps:
  1. Create a new Purchase Invoice record, or copy the Purchase Invoice you want to credit. Copying will ensure that the correct Purchase Account will be credited.

  2. Fill in the data in the normal way, but change the Payment Terms to "CN" and enter the number of the credited Invoice in the Cred. field on the 'Terms' card. Use 'Paste Special' to search for the correct Purchase Invoice Number. The Invoice to be credited must be approved.

    Note: this assumes a Payment Term record with a Code of "CN" and of type "Credit Note" has been entered using the Payment Terms setting.

  3. When the Invoice is approved, the Purchase Ledger will be updated, and a new Nominal Ledger Transaction will be generated.
If you leave the Invoice Number field blank, Hansa will create a special record in the Purchase Ledger. It may be corrected through a Payment record.
