Credit Memo Centr

What is Credit Memo Centre?

The Credit Memo Centre in XoroERP is a centralized module that allows users to manage, track, and process credit memos efficiently. Credit memos are issued when a customer returns goods, when adjustments are needed, or when refunds are processed against sales orders.

Location in System: Menu > Sales > Credit & Deposit > Credit Memo Centre

This module helps businesses keep accurate financial records, issue refunds, apply credits to invoices, and ensure that all transactions related to customer credits are properly accounted for.
