Processing Customer Credits/Returns on Credit Cards
You can credit a customer credit card in multiple ways using the Credit
Card Interface. You can credit an order automatically or manually by generating
a credit memo.
To process a return by generating a credit memo:
- Create and post the credit memo using the standard process.
- If Auto Return is selected
on the Credit
Card Interface Parameters form, the system generates a credit
on the customer credit card for the amount paid on the original invoice,
and you can skip the next step.
- If Auto Return is not selected, you must manually
apply the credit memo to the applicable invoice. On the A/R Posted
Transactions Detail form, select the new credit memo and click
Pay With Credit Card. Use a reference of Invoice
with the applicable credit memo number.
If a credit is displayed as an open credit, to be applied later to an invoice,
you can automatically or manually credit the order:
- On the Credit
Card Payments form, select the customer.
- In the Transaction Type field, specify Return.
- In the Reference field, specify Open.
- To automatically process
the open payment:
- Select Auto Post Open Payment.
- Specify the credit card information and click Process.
A Posted Open Payment is generated on the A/R Posted Transactions
Detail form.
OR to manually process
the open payment:
- Clear the Auto Post Open Payment check box.
- Specify the credit card information and click Process.
An Open Payment is generated on the A/R Payments form.
- Use the standard process to apply the payment to the specific
invoice, if applicable.
- Use the standard process to post the payment.
