Before you can see and apply credit to an invoice, you’ll need to create a credit note for the relevant billing account.

Credit can only be applied to an invoice after it’s created and the debtor account and fee settings are saved.

Once credit is applied to an invoice, a credit note changes from Open to Applied status to indicate that the credit amount has been deducted from the balance due.


Apply credit to an invoice

To apply credit to an invoice, go to your [Finance entity name] > Invoices and credits.

  1. Select Add invoice.
  2. Under New invoice, select the relevant General ledger (GL) date, Debtor ledger and Fee schedule.
  3. Now you can populate fields unique to this invoice and apply the debtor account in the ‘To’ column, If you need help, follow the steps to create an invoice.
  4. To view credits available to apply to the invoice, search and select the invoice to reopen it.
  5. In the totals summary near the bottom of the invoice, you’ll see any credit available (within an open credit note). To pay part or all of the Balance due, select Apply credit.

You’ve applied credit available to this invoice and the balance is updated to reflect the new balance due.
