Generating Credit Memos

HandiFox Online uses Credit Memos to record money owed to the buyer and move returned items back to inventory. 

• In the web app, go to Sales-> Sales Transactions and click the + button to create a new Credit Memo.
• Start off by typing in the customer’s name.
• Choose the inventory site to return the products to.
• Start adding items by selecting them from the drop-down list in the Item column or setting the cursor into the Scan Barcode field and using a barcode scanner.

• In the mobile app, go to Customer center, highlight and do a long tap on the customer who is returning products
• Tap on Credit Memos -> New

The money you owe to the customer can be turned into a customer credit and applied to further invoices.

In the mobile app, find and highlight a customer in the Customer Center. Tap Payment, which will bring up the list of invoices with open balances. Make a long tap on one of the invoices and select Apply Credits from the menu.
