How to Create a Sales Credit Memo in Business Central

To correct or refund a posted sales invoice, open the posted invoice and use 'Create Corrective Credit Memo', or create a new Sales Credit Memo and pull in the lines with Copy Document. Check the application to the original invoice, then post. The Zentriq Agent can draft the credit memo for you from one sentence.

Step-by-step guide

1

Find the posted invoice

Use the search bar (Alt+Q) and type 'Posted Sales Invoices'. Open the invoice you need to correct or refund.

2

Create a corrective credit memo

On the posted invoice, click 'Correct' > 'Create Corrective Credit Memo'. BC creates a Sales Credit Memo with the same lines and links it to the original invoice.

3

Or start from a blank credit memo

Alternatively, search 'Sales Credit Memos', click 'New', select the customer, then use the 'Copy Document' action with Document Type 'Posted Invoice' to copy the original lines.

4

Adjust quantities and amounts

For a partial credit, reduce quantities or delete lines so the credit memo covers only what you are refunding. Set 'Applies-to Doc. Type' to Invoice and check the 'Applies-to Doc. No.' field so the credit memo closes the original invoice.

5

Post the credit memo

Verify the totals, then click 'Post'. BC creates a posted sales credit memo, reverses revenue and VAT, and applies it to the invoice so the customer balance is reduced.

The faster way with Zentriq

Ask the Zentriq Agent to 'create a credit memo for invoice 103032, 2 units of item 1936-S' and it drafts the sales credit memo with the right lines, waiting for your approval before anything is posted.
