How to allocate credit notes to CIS invoices
Description
To allocate a CIS invoice and credit note together, both must use the same type of nominal code, either CIS taxable or non-taxable. For example, if the invoice uses a CIS taxable code, the credit note must also use one, such as CIS Labour or CIS Other labour.

CIS invoices can't be part-paid. They must be paid in full.

TIP:

You can check the nominal code on an invoice or credit note in the subcontractor record Activity tab.

 

We'll run you through the steps below on how to allocate CIS invoices and credit notes together.

Allocate credit note to CIS invoice

  1. On the navigation bar, select Subcontractors then choose Supplier payment.
  2. In the Payee box, type the subcontractor account reference, or press the arrow then double-click the reference.
  3. In the Select Payment/Allocation type window, select Allocate CIS Taxable credits or Allocate CIS Gross credits as required, then press OK.

    TIP:

    If you have non-CIS invoices and credits or payments on account that you want to pay or allocate, click Pay & Allocate standard transactions. Only the invoices and credits with nominal codes that match your selection appear in the Supplier payment window.

     
  4. In the Date box, enter the allocation date you want to use.
  5. In the Payment column, enter the amount you want to allocate against the invoice and the credit note.
  6. Press Save, then press Close.
