The client paid the invoice after all
Question
I entered a credit note for a client but now the client has paid the invoice.
Answer
If you are still in the same period, delete the credit note and enter the cash receipt or modify it in the Receivables reconciliation report.
If you have moved to the next processing period, create a miscellaneous invoice for the amount of the credit note. This effectively increases the account receivable balance to the amount prior to the entry of the credit note. Next, enter the cash receipt and apply it to the miscellaneous invoice. Note that this activity will be reflected on the client statement.
