Summary

The following article explains how to credit a vehicle purchase invoice.

More Information

There are 3 stages to crediting a vehicle purchase invoice. These need to be done in the correct order laid out below to complete the credit.

This will generally only be used for vehicles purchased directly from someone, i.e. not ones purchased as a part exchange on a vehicle deal. These will normally be credited using the Vehicle Credits option, although this may be necessary on occasion. See Here for details.

Stage 1 - Checking the Invoice Centres & Values

Go to " Unit Sales Add or Edit Vehicles".

  • Find the vehicle that requires a credit. You can search using any of the details of the vehicle, e.g. 'Reg. No.', 'Stock Number' or almost any other detail about the vehicle. Make a note of the vehicle stock number for later use.
  • Click on the [Purchase] Tab.
  • Make a note of the 'Invoice Number' to use later.
  • Click on the "Supplier" Account Code field (Make a note of this for later use).
  • Press <S+F10> to get into the Supplier details.
  • Press <S+F7> to get into the Supplier History Screen.
  • Find the Invoice number that you noted earlier and press <S+F2>.
  • Look at the "Centre" field and make a note of the 'Centre' and the 'Nett', 'Vat' and 'Total' fields.
If this field says '0 - Multiple Centres' then press <F2> to see the values of the centres shown. Make a note of these as they will be needed at the next stage.

Stage 2 - Posting the Purchase Credit

This stage is usually done by the Accounts or Admin department, although it can be done by anyone with access to the Purchase Ledger. This is why making a note of the correct details in the previous stage is important.

Go to " Accounts\Systems Purchase Ledger Purchase ledger Postings".

  • Post either a single or multiple centre credit posting in the usual way using the information from the previous stage.

Stage 3 - Clearing the Vehicle Purchase Information from the Vehicle

Go to " Unit Sales Add or Edit Vehicles".

  • Find the vehicle that requires a credit by entering the 'Stock Number' that you noted earlier.
  • Click on the [Purchase] Tab.
  • You will need to clear out the information in the following fields:
    • 'Supplier.'
    • 'Purchase date.'
    • 'Invoice number.'
    • 'Cheque/comment.'
    • 'Purchase amount.'

Once these fields are cleared and the changes accepted, you can then purchase the vehicle again with the correct details.
