An On-Account Credit Memo can be created at the time of application to an invoice, or an existing On-Account Credit Memo can be used once it is entered into the sheet via the following methods:

  • Entry into the sheet via an import or manually

  • The On-Account Credit Memos Download Source

  • The Open Invoices Download Source

The On-Account Credit Memos download source can be useful if applying an existing On-Account Credit Memo or as a basis for creating a new on- On-Account Credit Memo.

The Open Invoices download source can be useful if downloading specific invoices with the intention of using the data to create a related On-Account Credit Memo. The Transaction Number can then be cut and pasted into the Apply Transaction Number field for the corresponding On-Account Credit Memo to be created and applied to that invoice.
