Credit notes will record the sales returns received from your debtors (customers) from your stock code file. This source document will once posted or updated to the ledger reverse the entries or part of the transactions issued and posted on the invoice. It is strongly recommended that the Documents Setup for credit notes be checked and set if necessary, before you proceed to process documents.

To Check and do a Documents Setup - Credit Notes:
Click on Setup - System Parameters - Documents menu option or press the and and and keys on your keyboard, if not already displayed. The Documents Setup screen will be displayed.
Click on the Credit Notes tab. The Documents Setup screen for credit notes will be displayed.


Select the following for the document layout, if necessary:

Option	Description
Layout file	You may select any of the available layout files with an .*frf extension (freeform format). These files are stored in the Bin/Reports folder of the TCASH3 directory or other directory in which TurboCASH is installed on your system. The layout of the documents may be edited in the Report Designer on the Tools menu.
Print standard logo	Select this field to print the address. If you have loaded a logo picture file in the Setup - System Parameters - Company Info (Options tab), the Company logo field must not be selected. If you wish to print the logo on your documents, you need to leave this field blank and select the Company logo field in the Setup - System Parameters - Company Info (Options tab) screen.
Print Frames	Select to print frames in the document layout. If left blank, only the data will be printed.
Auto-post documents on print	By default this field is not selected. This means that you need to post or update the documents from the Input - Update Ledger menu option. If you wish to update the documents automatically after a document is generated and printed, in the Input - Documents menu option, select this field. Only the documents which were generated, but not printed, need to be updated manually in the Input - Update Ledger menu option.
General numbers	This field will only be available and displayed if Users were created in the Setup - System Parameters - Access Control menu option.

Next Credit Note No.	You may need to change the document number to suit your requirements. It is recommended that the document numbers be prefixed with at least 2 alpha-characters. This will enable you to identify the documents and transactions by document numbers.
Credit Note Batch	The sales journal batch should usually be selected. This batch will record the transactions for all the credit notes issued and when the document is posted or updated to the ledger, the transactions will be recorded in the selected batch (e.g. sales journal). The transactions will be exactly the opposite than that of the sales journal when invoices are posted or updated to the ledger. If you have may returns or credit note transactions, you may create a batch type for credit notes or debtor allowances in the Setup - System Parameters - Batch Type menu option and link the credit note batch type to that batch type.

The layout of the documents may be edited in the Report Designer on the Tools menu.
