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.
Getting Started
- Setting up your system for Credit Notes
- Issuing credit notes
- Redeeming a credit note
- Cancelling a credit note
- Setting up and redeeming a credit note sold within your old system
