deposit place the negative entry against the proposal that the deposit is on.

Override button at the bottom. This will open the override screen where you can
adjust the amount to be invoiced. Check the Override box and fill in the Extended
Price (do not include sales tax) in the Price To Invoice column and in the Taxable
Amount column. The amount to enter is a negative amount for the amount of
credit you want to give the client (ex: -800.00 for an $800.00 credit). Print and
accept this invoice. The sales tax will be calculated and added to the credit
automatically and should appear on the credit invoice.
B) The credit will show up on the client’s accounts receivable. Go to the cash
receipts window by clicking on the
button, click on Add and enter the project
code. You should see the credit invoice listed in the lower grid under invoices.

entered as a Miscellaneous Receipt. Click on the cash receipts button

positive amount. When entering this miscellaneous receipt be sure to use the same

Processing a Client Return on a Point of Sale
Invoice Purchase
If a client returns a point of sale item the item must be put back into inventory (if it
originally came from inventory) and any payment must be returned to the client. This can
be accomplished in a single step by entering a credit point of sale invoice.
The invoice is entered exactly like the original but when you get to the quantity
purchased, make the quantity negative. This will return the item into inventory and
adjust the accounting records. On the payment section enter a negative payment if it is a
cash or credit card sale. This will return the money to the client. If the original sale was
"On Account" then process the return as an "On Account" credit. This will enter a credit
in the client’s accounts receivable.
Client Returned an Item and It Needs to Be
Transferred to Inventory
You may encounter a situation where a client has returned an item purchased for a project
and you want to transfer the item to stock inventory. Design Manager has a function
setup to do this automatically.
Go to the vendor invoice entry window by clicking on the
button. If you look at the
bottom of the displayed window you will find a button labeled Xfer To Stock. Click on
this button to open the transfer window shown below.
The upper part of this window lets you enter information about the source of the item.
Enter the project, Item number and Component number that you want transferred.
The lower part of the window allows you to enter the stock inventory information. You
have to assign a stock number to the item. The computer will display the description
from the original item that you can modify if needed for the inventory record.
When you click on the OK button the computer will create the inventory item and create
the accounts payable records needed to remove the cost from the project PO and put it to
inventory. You will need to post these entries to complete the process.
Note that you must have entered a vendor invoice before you can transfer the item.
