Resolution

Do not affect the Time ledger
Invoice cross reference
Post a Write back
For further information about Credit notes see KB IAS-6912
Cross Billing Reference
It is possible to post a credit note and cross reference it to an invoice reference. For example, INV1000. Posting credit notes will unmatch all the WIP originally written out by the invoice.
To make this posting you would need to:
Log on to IRIS Fees from the IRIS Main Menu
Click on Postings | Ad hoc posting
It may ask you to select the period that you would like to put the Credit note posting in to.
Tick the radio button Credit note
Enter the details for the Client For example A001
Enter the date. For example 01/09/11
Enter the Credit Amount. For example 200.00 this amount should be excluding VAT
Select the Relevant VAT rate
Ensure the Adjust T/L WIP is TICKED
Place a tick in the box that reads “or completely write back time for invoice as specified in ‘cross ref’ below”
In the Cross ref box, enter the reference number that the credit note corresponds to, or press F2 and it will enter the latest invoice raised.
Click on the Post button.
Technical Details
The credit note will appear in your Fees Leger and reduce the debtor balance of the client.
The credit note will ‘reverse’ the invoice in Time Ledger. This will ‘unmatch’ all the WIP originally written out by the invoice and cancel the bill posting.
This invoice will not show on the Billing Analysis report as it has been reversed.
