Transactions: Credit Notes

There are 2 'modes' for credit notes set via Company Settings > Event Defaults

1

   Create partial credit notes only for adjusted amounts (Default)

In this mode the credit notes will reflect only the amount to be credited.

2

    Create full credit notes with new invoices for adjustments

In this mode, all changes to a transaction which increase, decrease or alter items but leave the total the same will generate a credit note for the FULL amount of the transaction + generate a new invoice

Paperwork generation

See the article on paperwork and modifications for info on when Invoices and credit notes are generated

Credit notes are automatically generated when transactions are modified and:

  • The total value of a transaction is reduced
  • The value is unchanged but products are switched or pricing allocations change
  • The total is increased or items are added (depending on credit note behaviour setting)
  • Cancellation (full or partial)
  • Refunds - for Credit Card transactions or Invoiced transactions which are Paid, PartiallyPaid or PartiallyRefunded

Credit notes are not automatically sent to the customer but can be sent via:

  • "Send credit note" checkbox in the modify transactions screen when saving
  • "Send Latest Credit Note" ACTION
  • "Cancel + Notify" ACTION

Credit notes and Invoices are always available via the transaction history
