Credit Note - Allocate to different contact
It would be great if in Xero Blue you could see from the contact profile that they have a credit instead of money owed $0.00.
It would also be helpful if when creating and invoice or before sending the invoice if a pop up appeared advising the client has credit and asking if you would like to use it.
Also having the ability to transfer credit between groups/entities would be helpful. At the moment if someone has a credit note against one entity we need to reverse the credit note and reprocess it under the entity you want to credit.
We find the credit notes hard to follow as staff members do not think to look for an outstanding credit before sending invoices, the client then pays again an the credit remains.
Thanks for your feedback here. Currently when you create a credit note/overpayment the balance is reflected in the contacts record. This shows as a negative value in the list of the customer's invoices.
With new invoicing, if you create an invoice for a contact that has outstanding credit, you'll be asked if you'd like to allocate this credit once the invoice has been approved. You'll also see the available credit and option to apply each time you view an approved invoice.
While it's not possible to allocate credit from one contact to another you could edit an existing credit note to change the contact without having to recreate it from scratch.

I think this is a great idea & it would be very helpful if these changes could be made possible.
