  1. Select the Receivables Manager responsibility.

  2. Navigate to the Approval Limits window.

  3. In the Username field, enter the first approver who you are defining approval limits for.

  4. In the Currency field, enter a currency code.

  5. In the From Amount and To Amount fields, enter the minimum and maximum approval amounts in this currency for this user.

  6. In the Document Type field, enter Credit Memo.

  7. If this approver is the primary approver for this range, check the Primary box.

  8. Save your work.

  9. Repeat steps 3 to 8 for each approver.

Update Transaction Types

Use the Transaction Types window to define a Credit Memo Type for invoice, debit memo, and commitment transaction types. When a credit memo request is approved, the new credit memo uses the Credit Memo Type defined for the disputed transaction.

Note: If your invoices calculate tax, the credit memos assigned to them must also calculate tax. You must ensure that the invoice transaction type and the credit memo transaction type both have the Tax Calculation box checked. If necessary, set up a separate transaction type that does not calculate tax for your On Account credit memos.

To update transaction types for iReceivables:

  1. Select the Receivables Manager responsibility.

  2. Navigate to the Transaction Types window.

  3. Query or enter the first transaction type that you want to update.

  4. In the Credit Memo Type field, enter the credit memo type to use when crediting items with this transaction type.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each transaction type.
