Crediting Part of an Invoice for a Service Job - Itemised

Use this process to credit part of a normal invoice for a service job, e.g. to credit back materials or labour that were incorrectly invoiced or to give the customer a discount, when there are lines on the job that have not yet been invoiced.

In this procedure a negative quantity is entered against a job line where the cost centres are itemised (i.e. Yes is selected in the Itemise field against a cost centre on the Invoicing Jobs screen). This creates a negative invoice rather than a credit note.

Warning

This process does not un-flag any material or labour lines that have previously been flagged as taken up in a normal do-and-charge invoice. To do that, you must credit the entire invoice – see "Job Transaction Processing - File - Credit Note".
In addition, you should not use this procedure to credit a progress claim – refer instead to "Crediting a Progress Claim".

To credit only part of a normal invoice, you load the job as normal then enter a negative quantity on the appropriate item or labour line.

Load the job you want to credit.

Refer to "Recalling a Service Job or Quote".

If required, change the Job Status on the Job Information screen from C - Completed to A - Active.
