allocating payment to credit note

hello,

I have the attached problem. I have two invoices from a supplier and one credit note. They have refunded the difference between the credit note and the two purchase invoices. How do I allocate the payment?

Hi Kangwa,

The system currently does not allow part payments allocated to credit notes. In this case, the best solution would be to create a Contra Account by heading to Money > Bank Account > Add Account (add it as a bank account named Contra Account). Once this is done, pay off both the bills and credit notes using the Quick Pay feature; selecting the Contra Account, please see example below:

After this, you can then explain the receipt as a transfer from the Contra Account, as shown below:

I hope this has been helpful!

Thanks,

Tommy

Will the system be updated to pick up credit notes and invoices without the need for a work around?
