This information was displayed on the Document Entry Header screen. The Exemption Reference number is the Tax number as entered on the Edit - Accounts - Debtors (Accounting Information tab).

  2. The Transaction Section - contains the details of the transactions as selected, entered and edited in the Document Entry Details screen. It displays the code and description of the stock items returned, any comments, any discounts, etc. If you are registered as a VAT vendor and you have selected a Tax code, and VAT amounts for each item (Exclusive amount, Tax amount and the Inclusive amount). Finally the total for all the transactions are displayed at the end of this section.

  3. The Footer Section - contains the message as entered on the Setup - System Parameters - Documents (Credit Notes tab) menu option and the Company and Tax registration numbers if entered on the Setup - System Parameters - Company Info (Address tab) menu option. This section also includes a place for the name and signature of the person, who accepts the credit note and the date on which the credit note is accepted.

You may also select to print the company logo instead of your address on the credit notes. If you select to print your company logo, make sure that your address and contact numbers are included in your logo.

Credit notes will have exactly the opposite effect as that of invoices on the debtor (customer) account and balances, the stock quantities and balances as well as the ledger accounts.

If an invoice have been posted or updated to the ledger, you need to create a credit note to reverse or cancel the incorrect entries on the invoice.
