Store Credit options

[Shereen]

Hi All
I'm asking about the possibility of storing credit notes in ofbiz and reusing them for example
some customer will return a product this product's price is 20 dollars but he'll not get money he'll use this 20 dollar as a credit note so when next time he makes an order with 40 dolllar he's going to pay only 20 and consume his credit note
I know there's an option in return called store credit but what's the financial consequences of using that option what it will do?

does any one knows a good way of handling returns with no refund but with store credit wether it's a sales or purchase return
so that I can compare and see if I have to do some coding or the features are enough for me.

Actually trying to imagine that is hard for me especially for purchase orders. If I have credit note with 100 and the next purchase order costed me 1000 so I'll only make a payment with 900 what about the other 100 dollar how I'm gonna make another payment with 100 dollar and make ofbiz understand that it's from credit? are billing and financial accounts used in that? if so how?

Thanks in advance

couple ways
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductStorePaySetup?productStoreId=9000
financial accounts- this is pretty flexible
Gift card-for just your store.

both require some customization, to use the way you want.
