Re: [SL] Credit notes

[Dr E. L. <el...@li...>]

This has been discussed on the list previously as well.

I have created a Credit Note (suspsense) account. From this I "pay" the
invoice. Then I create another Invoice with negative quantities which
results in an equal but negative amount as compared to the invoice, and
I enter into the Notes field: "Credit Note for Invoice #####". I then
pay the negative amount from the above suspense account balancing it and
both "invoices" are closed.

I am quite sure, Mr Simader will eventually implement this, or some
other, logic in Perl :-)-O, but the above works for my auditors.
