Info
For Account Customers, if the credit is unallocated, it will usually allocate to the next charge/invoice placed on the account. You can arrange to do a refund of unallocated credits using the information below.
For Non Account Customers, it will always stay there unallocated, and have to be refunded according to the information below.
Info
That credit can be turned into a refund, and for more information on this, click HERE.

Changing the Customer on a Proforma

You cannot edit the customer directly on a Proforma Invoice, and there is no option to reverse it back to a Quote. Instead, use the Copy button to duplicate the Proforma as a new Quote, then update the customer on that Quote.

  1. From the Main Screen of Retailer click on Stock Maintenance → Quote and Invoice Management.
  2. Find and open the original Proforma.
  3. Click the Copy button. A new Quote will be created with the same items, linked to the original customer.
  4. On the new Quote, update the Customer field to the correct customer and save.
  5. Convert the new Quote to a Proforma when ready.
  6. Go back to the original Proforma and click Cancel Proforma to cancel it.
