Matching Credit Note Invoice Totals To Goods Returned

When working with Credit Note type invoices where you have received a Credit Note for items you have returned, after entering invoice totals you will need to match the items on the supplier's Credit Note with the items you returned. This procedure involves:

Recalling Lines From Supplier Return Notes

After entering invoice totals - and re-opening the Purchase Invoice Registration record if necessary - you must click Continue on the Toolbar - Sub-Menu (see Matching Invoice Totals).

 

Lines from the Supplier Return Note referenced in the header are recalled, showing you which goods have actually been returned. For example:

Note: Typically just one 'SRN line' will be displayed. However, if the supplier has consolidated items from more than one Supplier Return Note onto the Credit Note (meaning you will see the 'Totals Do Not Match' warning on clicking Continue) you will first need to add one or more Supplier Return Notes. See Adding A Supplier Return Note.

 

For each 'SRN line' the Branch and SRN number are displayed, along with the date on which the goods were Returned. The following amounts are displayed:

 

The following totals are displayed above:

Note: For Credit Notes/Supplier Returns, value totals will be negative.

Allocating Or Modifying Line Amounts

For each SRN line (i.e. for each Supplier Return Note which has been recalled) click one of the following links:

 

If values match: click 'Select'

Click Select if the value of the goods returned matches the value invoiced (i.e. you have been invoiced correctly for the goods returned).

 

The line of goods is allocated or 'matched'. The Allocated and Balance amounts above are adjusted accordingly.

 

If values do not match: click 'Modify'

Click Modify if the value of the goods returned does not match the value invoiced.

 

Various options are available when there is a buying difference. To continue, see Registering A Buying Difference On Individual Lines.

 

To cancel the allocation: click 'Cancel'

Click Cancel if you need to cancel the allocation on the line. You may continue by clicking Select or Modify as appropriate.

 

As you match each SRN line:

 

Continue this procedure until all Supplier Return Note lines have been allocated.

When All Lines Have Been Allocated

When you have allocated/matched all supplier return lines and you have finished working with the Purchase Invoice record, click End on the Toolbar - Sub-Menu to save and close the record:

Note: If there are still amounts unmatched (e.g. the Buying Deficit window displays on clicking End) - see Registering A Buying Loss.

 

If the Balance on the Purchase Invoice Registration record is zero, meaning you have matched (or allocated) all goods returned with the amounts invoiced, a window like the following will display to show the Purchase Invoice Registration is complete:

Click OK to close the window.

 

Once invoice totals have been matched and the Purchase Invoice completed/passed as described above, the record is no longer retrievable in the Finder under Registered Purchase Invoices. However, completed/passed Purchase Invoice records may be viewed by selecting Passed Purchase Invoices in the Finder.
