Notes and warnings

Activity considerations

Operator access to the following activities within this program can be restricted. You configure this using the Operators program.

Activity Description
SO Select individual kit component from invoice for credit Controls whether an operator can process a credit note against an existing invoice for individual components of Kit types S andK (i.e. Kit type and Sub type kits).

When this activity is not enabled, the operator cannot use the SO Sales Order Lines from Reprint or SO Dispatch Order Lines from Reprint program to select/deselect kit components for the credit note; only the entire kit can be credited.

This activity applies to credit notes for invoices, consolidated invoices, dispatch notes and consolidated dispatch notes as well as for returns using the Return Merchandise Line Details program.

Coding considerations

  • When processing a credit note using the Sales Order Entry program, you can link the credit note to an existing sales order invoice by entering the invoice number against the order header (SO Header Maintenance). You are then prompted to select those lines you want to credit from the original invoiced sales order.

    Note that if an item's serial, lot or ECC status has changed, then any invoice lines created prior to the change cannot be added using this program.

  • When processing a credit note for a Kit type or Sub type kit (Stock Codes) and the activity: SO Select individual kit component from invoice for credit is disallowed against your operator code, then you can only select to include the entire kit (i.e. all components of the parent item are automatically included in the credit note). The kit components are, however displayed for information purposes.

  • When processing an RMA using the Return Merchandise Line Details program, you can link the return to an existing invoice by entering the invoice number. You can then browse on the Stock code field to select the line you want to include in the return from the original invoiced sales order. Only a single line at a time can be selected.
