How to create credit notes for accounts payable and link to bills?

 We have launched an entirely new module of credit notes for accounts payable!

Users can now create and map bills to vendor credit notes. Let's take a look at how to do this: 

1. Go to "Credit Notes" under "Payables". Click on "Add New".

2. First, choose a vendor from the "Vendor" drop down.

3. Afterward, you'll see a list of bills along with the reference numbers and the amount owed.

4. You have the flexibility on the amount of credit note you'd like to settle for the bills, whether it's partial or full amount. If you'd like to apply a specific amount to the Credit Notes, please input the amount that will be settled in the "Applied Amount" column.

5. You can also add line items for credit notes by clicking the "Add New" button.

Click on the "edit icon" to edit the line item details.

Then select the line item from the "Line Item Name" drop-down menu.

Finally, click on the "save icon" to complete the process.

6. The Amount field at the top will get auto-filled based on the amount you've settled.


7. Once done, hit "Save and Close". 

8. You can see the credit note view modal to check the bills linked to credit notes, item details, and the timeline.

9. To send the credit note for vendor approval click on "Send For Approval".

10. The credit note will be synced to the vendor portal for your vendor's approval.

11. Once the credit note is approved by the vendor, it will show the status as "Active".
