Summary
How to delete a sales credit note entered by mistake in Sage Accounting.
Description
You can only delete a credit note if it meets all the following conditions:
- The credit note is unpaid
- The credit note has no allocations
- The credit note isn't on a VAT Return
If the credit note has allocations, remove them before editing it by:
- Delete the refund allocated to the credit note, or
- Unallocating the credit note from the sales invoice
The credit note is on a VAT Return:
- If it's included on a draft VAT Return, delete the VAT Return before deleting the invoice
- If it's included on a submitted VAT Return, you can't delete the invoice, instead reverse the sales credit note
Resolution
- From Sales, choose Sales credit notes.
- Select the checkbox next to the relevant credit note.
- Select Delete from the toolbar.
- Enter the reason for deleting the credit note.
- Choose Yes.
