Posting a Credit Note

Tip: You can check a credit note before posting it. (This is distinct from previewing the posting transactions to be made when the credit note is posted to the account ledger.)

A credit note can be posted to either a sales ledger account or a purchase ledger account, and the action makes several postings in accounts:

Note: Whether the credit note is posted to a sales ledger account or a purchase ledger account is predetermined by a financial parameter.

Actions After Posting

When an SBI has been posted you must sort out any payments on account and debits. It is necessary to assign the payment or debit to the correct invoice. This is a manual procedure and care should be taken to ensure that the payments and debits are updated and posted correctly.

Rejections can be corrected in the PGCS claims interface and re-submitted.
