Contact Credit - Apply credit to Contact
It would be really helpful to be able to allocate a credit note against the supplier account rather than against individual purchase invoices. We receive supplier credit notes for discounts applied for purchases which don't relate to an invoice so the only way we can account it for them is to use any purchase invoice which then reduces the invoice amount. It can be confusing for the supplier when the invoice amounts do not match.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this — we can see why this would be really helpful.
Right now, supplier credit notes in Xero need to be allocated against individual bills, which can be awkward when the credit relates to things like discounts or rebates rather than a specific purchase invoice. We understand how that can create confusion, especially when invoice amounts no longer match what the supplier is expecting to see.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and better understand the impact for customers using this workflow.
If this workflow is causing issues for you, please keep adding examples and details — especially around how often it happens and any workarounds you’re currently using. That context is really valuable.
