Debit Note to Suppliers
Reference Contents > Ledgers Purchase or Accounts Payable > Debit Note to Suppliers
This Debit Note function is a convenient method of returning goods to a supplier and crediting their A/P account accordingly. When processed it records stock movements on all part items as General Issues (type E movement). It posts A/P and G/L transactions in a similar manner to a credit when posted in the A/P (see below). The account transactions and inventory movements are given a DN-000000 reference, starting at 000001 and automatically advancing. Note that there is no control under File — System Manager — Company Details — Document Numbers tab pane, as there is for other documents.
A Debit Note is not recorded in its entirety in the same way as say an Invoice to a customer is. The inventory movements and ledger transactions are of course saved to the datafile but other than that no details of the Debit Note remain after the window is closed or the Clear button is clicked.
It is not to be confused with normal return of goods received under a PO using the Process — Goods Receiving and History — Return Goods to Supplier function, to which the supplier may then issue a credit note which you would be then recorded in Ledgers — Accounts Payable — Invoices and Credits.
To process the window, select a Supplier, then drag parts onto the list from the ScratchPad. The window handles kits and multi-user/tracked parts. Modify quantity and price as needed and then Process. After processing the document will print automatically. However, after that a Reprint function is available and no maintenance is allowed until you click on Clear. This is to ensure you have a 2nd and later chance of a clean printed copy as it is not possible to re-print after you close the window or Clear.
