How do I handle sales returns and credit notes in BUSY?
Handling sales returns and credit notes in BUSY involves a series of steps to accurately record the return of goods, issue credit to the customer, and adjust your financial records accordingly. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to handle sales returns and credit notes:
Step 1 :Open BUSY and navigate to the Sales Return Voucher entry screen.
Step 2 :Choose the customer who is returning the goods. This should be the same customer from the original sales transaction.
Step 3 :In the voucher entry, specify the item(s) being returned, along with the quantity and price. Enter these as negative values to indicate a return.
