Using Sales Orders to Issue Credit

Only use this method of issuing credit if you are not doing a customer return. This procedure is for issuing credit due to overcharges or any other arrangement where the customer requires credit but there is no customer return. 

Setting Up for a Credit Sales Order

*Note: If you already have a Miscellaneous Expense project section and product cost group, do not set up new ones. Proceed with Creating a Credit Sales Order.

It is easiest to credit a Miscellaneous Expense project section and cost group rather than creating a new project section and cost group specific to each situation. If you do not have the Miscellaneous Expense project section and cost group, an administrator must:

  1. Create a New Project Section called Misc. Expense
  2. Create a New Product Cost Group called Misc. Expense
