WHMCS ChrisD Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi Rania, We don't have the ability to raise a credit note in WHMCS so your options are to either Cancel the invoice or to add credit to the the account and pay it off with that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 20 hours ago, Rania said: I cannot find how to create a credit note there is a free addon that can create credit notes... https://github.com/Onlineforce/whmcs-credit-invoice Quote A simple module that allows admins to credit / refund invoices. The module adds buttons to the WHMCS invoice edit page. You can refund an invoice and easily navigate between it's corresponding credit note. The module does this by duplicating an invoice, setting it's status to "Paid", and then inverting all the amounts to negative. Finally it adds some data to both the original invoice admin notes as well as the credit notes admin notes, this is to be able to easily keep track of which credit note belongs to which invoice, and vice-versa. Open an invoice. You should see a new button, "Credit invoice". When pressed, a new invoice will be created. The new invoice will contain the exact same line items, but with reversed amounts ($10 becomes -$10). You will be redirected to the new credit note, where you can send the invoice to your client (standard WHMCS way). It is also possible to navigate between the original and the credit note by pressing the button. a "Credit Invoice" button is added to the Invoices page in the admin area... on the PDF invoice, the only change is that some text is added to the "Admin Notes" section of the output... ... similarly with the HTML version of the invoice... depending on your country, and their invoicing/credit notes laws, you may need to edit the html and/or PDF invoice templates to make them look less like an invoice and more like a credit note. there are commercial addons in Marketplace that can create credit notes too... there's also a 4-year old feature request, currently marked as "Planned" - but no idea how long it's been in the planning stage, or if it will ever leave it. 🙄 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesteam Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I am still BAFFLED that this is not part of the vanilla WHMCS billing system!!? All billing systems should have this right out of the gate! IMO, The credit system is so stupid as it breaks account statements when adding manual credits! See post I just made...

We absolutely welcome Feature Requests for this sort of item! I was able to do a quick search and located this Feature request which I'm happy to say is in the Planned stage: https://requests.whmcs.com/topic/credit-note-in-compliance-with-uk-vat-legislation For those interested, continue voting so our Development can see the desire for this feature! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, this should not even be a feature request at all. It should be standard!! And as far as I can see, the link to the feature request that you posted is over 4 years old. There is no point in bothering to vote at all if WHMCS doesn't care to add such an absolutely obvious feature that is part of every other billing system in the world except WHMCS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we'll have to stick with expensive commercial addons that cost as much as WHMCS itself yearly for such a basic billing functionality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
