regarding Credit Memos

[krishna suman]

Hi,

I wanted how Credit Memo's are created in ofbiz. While searching for the
same i have found in ofbiz documentation at "
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/~ian@.../07+Chart+of+Accounts+%28Global+GL%29<http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/%7Eian@.../07+Chart+of+Accounts+%28Global+GL%29>"
how it is done. Which is mentioned in the section .7.4 Journal Entry
sub-tab. But i have checked for the same screen " journal entry" which is
accessed by clicking the "journal Entry" button in the demo 9.04 version of
ofbiz. We use a 4.0 version of ofbiz we didnt find this option.

We actually wanted to use credit memos because after we make payment to
suppliers, sometimes we give a refund to the customer. And therefore we have
record this refund from supplier too. Once we pay the supplier against an
invoice, and take the invoice to paid state, we cant do any modifications.
And neither to the PO (purchase order).  As Invoice is generated once PO is
in completed state.

Can you helps us with any suggestion or how this can be done in ofbiz.

Thanks
Regards
Krishna.

Hi

I dont know about OFBiz version 4.0 but in 9.04 you can create Credit Memos using the 'Accounting Transactions' tab. See instructions below on how to do it.

1. Go to Accounting / Organization GL Settings
2. Click on the 'Accounting' button for 'Your Company Name Here'
3. Click on the 'Accounting Transactions' tab
4. The buttons for 'Create an Accounting Transaction' or 'Quick Create an Accounting Transaction' are displayed
5. You can use either of these buttons to create your 'Credit Memo' transaction
6. Select 'Credit Memo' from the drop down box for 'Acctg Trans Type' and enter the amount. You can also then you can link the invoice id, payment id and then the Debit and Credit GL accounts affected.
7. Press the 'Create' button to create the Credit Memo transaction.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Sharan
