Credit Notes (non-trackable)

Overview

This feature is not available in Readysell Lite. 

Readysell implemented a simple non-trackable credit note feature using the existing sale order workflow, product and GL account set-up.

Setup

  • You must have a general ledger account for credit notes issued and redeemed
  • A product category for credit notes
  • A product to stand for credit note sales that must be in the credit note product category.  This is usually set up as product ID: CN
  • A tender than must use the general ledger account for credit note redeemed and issued.

Usage

  • Sell the credit note product on a sale to the customer
  • The invoice/receipt printed should be retained by the customer as this is their only evidence that the credit note exists
  • When the customer wants to redeem a credit note, they must present the original printed invoice or receipt for the sale of the credit note
  • Your staff must retain the original invoice for the credit note to prevent it being reused
  • Your staff must use the full amount of the credit note as a tender on the redeeming sale
  • If you do not wish to give the customer any change in the form of cash and if the sale value is less than the credit note tender. You can add a product to the sale being a credit note. For the difference between the value of the sale and the value of the credit note being tendered.


Currently, there is no trackability of

  • customers with credit notes
  • credit notes already redeemed or cancelled i.e., staff must be in possession of the credit note when it is presented for redemption.
