Credit notes and refunds

Purpose

The “Credit note” allows you to add money back to the positive balance of the client. There can be many reasons why clients return products. That is why the “Credit note” function allows you to choose if you want to affect inventories or not. Indeed, a product that has a malfunction will not be put back to the inventory so there is no need to add it. On the other hand, if the product was brought back by the client for other reasons and is still new, you can put it back to the inventory.

The “Refund” function allows you to give the money on the positive balance back to the client. If the account is full, this action will create a debt on the negative balance. There are many reasons why you would need to reimburse a client: overpayment, a product is returned to the shop, a reservation is cancelled…
