Overview

The For for Credit tab in the Billing Center displays all records eligible for credit adjustments. These records are synchronized from the RecovR portal and are categorized into multiple sections:

  • Voided Sales: Sales transactions that were canceled and require credit adjustment.

  • Found Devices: Devices previously marked as lost but later found, requiring credit adjustment.

  • Found Devices (Previous System): Legacy records from the previous system for found devices i.e. paid before the cut-off date on the RecovR portal but marked as Found after the cut-off date.

  • Voided Sales (Previous System): Legacy records for voided sales from the previous system i.e. paid before the cut-off date on the RecovR portal but marked as Void after the cut-off date.

If the Split Invoicing Enabled billing setting is enabled for a given Company/Location, the Voided Sales tab will be split into :

  • Voided Sales (RecovR For Cars): Represents RecovR sales transactions that were canceled and require credit adjustment.

  • Voided Sales (RecovR For Keys): Represents RecovR for Keys ales transactions that were canceled and require credit adjustment.

Notes :

  • The Found Devices (Previous System) and Voided Sales (Previous System) are dynamic i.e only visible, if such records exists.

  • The Voided Sales (RecovR For Cars) and Voided Sales (RecovR For Keys) are dynamic i.e only visible, if such records exists i.e. applicable for new records after enabling the Split Invoicing Enabled.

Process Flow Diagram

Credit Notes are managed in the same way as remitting lines.

In the For Credit menu, you select the individual lines (similar to the To Pay tab), while the Credit Notes section functions like Batches β€” collecting selected lines until you are ready to issue the Credit Note.

Once a Credit Note is issued, it will appear in the list alongside all previously issued invoices. You can click on the entry to view the associated VIN details.

Important:

When applying a Credit Note as part of a payment, be sure to reference the CN Number found in the Invoice ID column on your payment backup. This ensures that Accounts Receivable can correctly match the payment and credit to the appropriate invoice.
