About Applying Credit Notes and Debit Notes to Other Documents

When you enter credit notes and debit notes using the A/R Invoice Entry screen, you can also enter the number of the document to which the note applies.

If the note applies to several invoices or is issued on account (for example, as a purchase volume rebate), you do not enter an invoice number here. You apply the credit note or "pay" the debit note later, using the A/R Receipt Entry screen.

For job-related credit notes and debit notes, if you specify an Apply To document:

  • The credit note or debit note can use only jobs that were used on the apply-to document.
  • The credit note cannot reduce the current outstanding amount or quantity for a detail to less than zero.
