Credit Orders - Returning faulty stock to supplier

When you need to return faulty stock to a supplier, use a Credit Order.

CREDIT ORDERS will reduce purchases, SOH (if required) and keeps your GP% correct.

Creating the Credit Order

From the Main Menu in Retail:

• 2 Stock Control
  1 Orders
  1 New Order
• Check for an existing Credit order type. If not found, press F3 [New Type]. This will give you a new order type.  
• Enter the name of the order e.g. CREDIT ORDER. You will now be able to keep using this order type in the future.
• Choose the relevant supplier - Press the space bar and ENTER and select from the choices in the dropdown box (you will be changing this supplier according to where the credit is being returned to each time)
• Set the Min Cover field to 0.
• Set the Max Cover field to C (C=Credit)
• In the Costing Field at the bottom of the order, tick Last
• F12 [Accept Details] to create the blank credit order. The function key boxes (at the top) will be in RED – denoting that this is a credit order.
  
  
  
  

Once the Credit Order is created

• Add the product(s) that need to be returned to the supplier. Check the quantities and costs are correct.

NB: The credit order has an option to not reduce stock (Function key Reduce SOH? F8).  IF you returned the item as ‘Faulty’ at POS then the SOH did NOT increase at that time. So, in that case, you would NOT want to reduce stock while processing the Credit Order. After pressing F8 Reduce SOH column will show No Adj. (see image below).

DO NOT PRESS F8 IF YOU WANT THE STOCK TO BE ADJUSTED (NORMAL CREDIT ORDERS)

• F11 [Adjust SOH] will process the Credit.
  • IF you collect additional order information (based on your set up), a prompt will appear to enter this information now, which includes the "Credit reason" field.
    Fill in all the fields, then F12 [Accept Details]
    
  • OR
    ‘Enter reason for credit’ box may appear instead,
    Enter the reason for credit then press Enter to continue to next step
    
• An option to Print the credit order will appear
  (escape will continue without printing)
  
• A - Adjust stock and accept order - will complete the process
  or you can cancel here, if changes need to be made

Please note: steps above may vary depending on your system set up
