You would need to enter the details of the invoice you require crediting; the invoice date and the reason for credit.

If you click 'Accept'

You will see the following:

As this invoice was invoiced out 2 months ago; the message is referring to the account set up being set at 0 months, meaning the credit cannot be completed. 

To change this, yourself or your accounts team would need to change the parameters.

You would need to follow the below path:

Accounts > Sales Ledger > Ledger Parameters

Select Master Parameters

You can see that the 'Prohibit refund to invoice over' is currently set to 0 months old

You will need to amend this, to match the time frame of the invoice you are trying to credit.

To do this select 'Amend', then set the months required.

Select 'Accept'.
