THE QUESTION IS:
SAY YOU HAVE A CREDIT MEMO #123 MADE FOR 1,000.00 AND NOW THE CUSTOMER WANTS A REFUND CHECK MADE OUT.
HOW WOULD YOU DO THIS? WHAT WOULD YOU CLICK ON?
WHEN I LOOK AT THE CREDIT MEMO I DO NOT SEE AN OPTION THAT SAYS PRINT A CHECK. SO I AM GUESSING THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO DO THIS.
WHEN I LOOK AT THE JOURNAL REPORT FOR THE CREDIT MEMO LOOKS LIKE A CREDIT TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND A DEBIT TO AN INCOME ACCOUNT.
I AM GUESSING THAT SOMEHOW A CHECKING ACCOUNT NEEDS TO BE CREDITED BECAUSE IT WILL BE REDUCED AND THE CREDIT MEMO NEEDS TO BE DEBITED SO SHOWS AS BEING USED? HOW DOES THIS GET APPLIED?
HOWEVER I DO NOT SEE THIS CHOICE WHILE LOOKING AT THE CREDIT MEMO.
HOW DOES THE CREDIT MEMO END UP BEING MARKED AS APPLIED?
Solved! Go to Solution.
