How to adjust, edit, or create credit or debit memos in Sales Order
Description

Cause

Sales Order credit/debit memos can be created for the following reasons:

  • An invoice is posted to the incorrect date.
  • An order is sold to the incorrect customer.
  • Incorrect items were included in the order.
  • Duplicate invoice is created
  • A return is not needed but an overpayment or incorrect discount was entered requiring a debit.
Resolution
How to enter a Credit Memo in Sales Order Invoice Data Entry. Create the credit memo in Sales Order Invoice Data Entry, and enter all values as positive amounts.

  1. Open Sales Order, Main, Invoice Data Entry.
  2. Click the Next Invoice No (#) button, and select the following:
    • Customer No = The customer to apply the credit memo to.
    • Invoice Type = Credit Memo or Debit Memo
    • Apply to Inv # = The invoice being credited. Important: Do not apply to the invoice if you are trying to correct a posting date. Instead - leave this field blank. It will create a separate Credit memo in A/R. You will then apply this credit memo to the original invoice through cash receipts entry by creating a $0.00 Cash receipt. See article DocLink: How to use Cash Receipts Entry to apply credit memos and prepayments to invoices in Accounts Receivable for Sage 100 ERP
      Note: For Credit Card Processing to automatically create the credit transaction for the original credit card, the selected invoice must have been paid by a saved credit card.
  3. Click the Lines tab, and select the items to be credited.
  4. Enter all quantities as positive amounts.
    Note: If the entire invoice is being credited, each item must still be selected individually.
  5. Print the Memo
  6. Print and Update the Daily Sales Reports / Updates (Sales Journal)

In the event you have invoiced the entire sales order inadvertantly, creating a Credit Memo for this invoice will not 're-open' the original sales order. A new sales order will need to be entered
