  4. Select the relevant Return to Supplier document
  5. No records found

Cause

In order to create a credit memo, user can go to advanced filter and search based on purchase order ID. Then you will get the return to supplier document. Further if you go to actions button on the Invoice Entry screen, you can see that Add to List button is enabled, meaning some user has removed the return to supplier document from the list so that you can add now back to the list.

Note:

  1. You need to search the corresponding Outbound Delivery ID instead of the Return to Supplier ID for searching. 
  2. If Supplier Invoice is not posted with reference to the Return to Supplier document, system will not allow you to create credit memo because return quantity will not be available for posting a credit memo.
