Overview

Excerpt

When a customer receives damaged products or product with any other issue, they may request a credit from your company.

This credit can then be submitted for review by the sales manager and ultimately Approved or Rejected. If the credit is approved, it will affect the customer invoice and will be reflected as a credit on the customer's statement.


How to issue a customer credit?

There are two possibilities when it comes to create customer credits: create credits associated to an invoice or create Standalone Credits.

 Also, you can select the Return to Inventory option if you would like to move the box back to inventory from this screen.


Ui step

 Once you add the credit, you can "Make a Comment" and/or "Add Support Documents" such as images.


Ui step

 Click on Submit for Review, so the credit will be submitted to the sales manager for review. Repeat this process for each credit required to be added to the invoice.

The system will send an email to the salesperson once the customer credit is approved or rejected by the Sales Manager (if the order does not have a salesperson associated, the system will not send any invoice).
