Advantages of the credit note procedure

Today we would like to introduce you to our extension for the Dynamics NAV/Business Central standard, which enables the Billing based on a credit note procedure includes. The credit note procedure is particularly suitable for companies that work with long-standing suppliers.
With the credit note procedure, billing is not carried out by the supplier (payee) by means of an invoice, but by the customer (payer) by issuing a credit note. In terms of billing, the customer's credit note therefore replaces the supplier's invoice. It is therefore a procedure for the automatic settlement of goods receipts.

Attention: A credit note in our case has nothing in common with the invoice correction!

The prerequisite for a valid credit note is always that the business partners have previously agreed to use the credit note procedure. The credit note then replaces the invoice and is accepted by the tax office as a receipt.

In our Dynamics NAV or Business Central extension of the standard, credit notes can be sent via e-mail at the click of a mouse.

The credit note procedure allows companies to avoid invoice verification. As the customer does not receive an invoice but issues a credit note to the supplier, the supplier is responsible for checking the credit note. The task of invoice verification is thus transferred to the supplier.

The credit note procedure has the following advantages for the supplier:

  • Elimination of invoice dispatch (saving paper and postage costs)
  • Elimination of the dunning process
  • Timely payment of incoming goods
  • Simpler preparation of the advance VAT return

The customer can also benefit from a number of advantages:

  • Elimination of the invoice receipt check and thus reduction of administrative expenses
  • Saving paper and postage costs through paperless dispatch via email
  • Simpler preparation of the advance VAT return
