      Information

      Credit Notes can be used to apply a credit to an account without the exchange of money.

      Credit Notes are not money and cannot be refunded against. 

      Credit Notes are a special type of Sundry Charge that can be applied to an account using a negative value to result in a credit.

      Assigned Credit Notes will deduct reported revenue from the selected target charge.

      Unassigned Credit Notes will deduct revenue reported against the General Ledger Account Code selected on the Credit Note's setup.

      Users will require Security Profile access to the Accounting Screen to use any Credit Notes setup in RMS.

      Assigned Credit Note

      Assigned Credit Notes are credits applied against a specific charge on the account in RMS and will deduct from reported revenue for the General Ledger Account Code of the selected target charge.

      When a Receipt has funds allocated to the target charge the value of the Assigned Credit Note will be released from Receipt Allocation and become Unallocated Funds available for refund on the account.

      Assigned Credit Notes can be used when needing to apply a credit to an account whilst deducting revenue from the target charge's General Ledger Account Code or when needing to release allocated funds to perform a refund without voiding any charges on the account.
