Create Credit Invoice for Returned Goods
Explanation
N.B. You can create a credit invoice for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) or a RMA
line at various stages, the first being after release of the RMA or the RMA line.
When parts are being returned from a customer, you can create a credit invoice for the
returned parts in
Return Material Authorization.
It is possible to create a credit invoice for an entire RMA or for a specific RMA Line.
The credit invoice can be viewed and changed in
Customer Invoice.
Prerequisites
- The RMA (Return Material Authorization) must have been created.
- The RMA or the RMA line, whichever applicable, must have been approved
for credit.
- The RMA may or may not be without an order.
- If a reference invoice is connected, it may be a
customer debit invoice or even the debit lines of a corrective invoice.
Status of the reference invoice should
be Posted Authorized, Paid Posted or Partly Paid Posted.
System Effects
A credit invoice is created for the returned quantity.
The ID number of the credit invoice will be indicated in the

of the RMA lines that are included on the credit invoice.
The Latest Ship Date field on the
Customer Invoice/General tab will display the latest shipping date of
the reference invoice connected to the RMA lines. Note that if there is more
than one reference invoice number associated with the RMA, or if there is no
reference at all, this field will be null.
