Create a credit for an invoice overpaid.

Hi Paula3 , the amount applied will contain the amount of the invoice, so immediately click back on that value and type the amount received. Clear the "finance charge" field and select record. You will be warned that a credit note will be created, confirm to record.

The credit can be seen in the sales register,  returns & credits tab, and can be settled against a future invoice or refunded. 

Good morning Mike, 

Thanks for your reply.

I still have this issue.

A client has 2 invoices of $40 each and has paid $120 istead of $80. how could i create $40 credit note for this client?

Please, find attached screenshoots.

Thank you so much for your help.

What should I do when the credit doesnt create by itself?

I have payment received in advance, tried to close the original invoice with a credit amount. 

Hi Jasz, 

Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community Forum. 

I understand how important it is to make sure that the credit gets recorded. Any amount paid more than the invoice would create a credit in the application. There is no way around this. In fact, this is how we recommend using the application. If this still confuses you, I recommend reading this article, Customer Overpayments and Double Payments. This explains in detail how the application handles overpayments. 

Let us know if you require any further assistance. We're happy to help. 

Thanks,

Thanks. I did follow the steps.. but it doesn't appear to create the credit note automatically. There is no warning that a credit note will be created. Is there something that I have missed? Or any security.preference needs to be changed? 

Hi Jasz, 

Thank you for the response. We appreciate your time providing further information. 

May I ask for screenshots of the payment recorded, bill, and any other relevant information? We'll be happy to help you with this. 

We look forward to your response. 

Thanks,
