Register supplier credit notes
Crediting refers to the process of receiving credit notes (SCN) from suppliers in response to complaints about received goods and/or services. Crediting is considered as the opposite to invoicing, according to the way the transactions are executed in the general ledger.
It is important to remember the nature of credit notes. Credit notes reduces the billed amount, it is not a new invoice. The credit note points out the decrease in payables.
When your company receive a credit note from a supplier it has to be manually registered in RamBase.
