Creating a Non Stock Financial Credit from a Sales order
You can create a non-stock financial credit to refund the customer money instead of crediting a product.
A Customer may request a credit for a broken item or parts missing etc. Instead of crediting the product itself and asking the customer to return the product, you can just issue a financial credit and let the customer keep the product. No stock affect at all. Just a refund of some sort. Whether it be a partial or full credit for the broken item.
Step 1.
Create a General ledger account to stand for eg Sales - Financial Credit
Step 2.
Create a Non-Stock Product Category and assign the gl account to the Sales area
Step 3.
Create a product to stand for Financial Credit. Add the right Category to this product. Do not add a sell. Ensure you have selected the right taxcodes if any apply.
Step4.
Set up the system reference to activate this feature
