Refund the customer without breaking the books.

From the return flow, raise a Credit Note against the sales invoice — revenue and VAT adjust in step with the stock movement. Finance and operations share one source of truth.

  • Linked to original invoice Auditors see which credit belongs to which sale — not orphan adjustments.
  • Partial credits supported Credit only what was returned — ideal for mixed shipments and line-level disputes.

Business Benefit: Faster refunds for B2B buyers and cleaner month-end — returns do not sit in limbo between warehouse and accounts.

Close the loop with Maintenance Visits.

Link a Maintenance Visit to the Warranty Claim for on-site repair. Record resolved by, resolution details, and closure date — support tickets become completed work, not open loops.
