Understanding How to Associate Accounts Receivable Invoices to Credit Notes

You create credit notes in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system to amend invoices for accounts receivable transactions.

You must include information about the credit note that modifies an invoice in VAT reports. To include the credit note information, you must associate the credit note to the invoice or invoices that it modifies.

You use a France-specific form in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system to create the association between the credit note and the invoice. When your User Profile is set to FR (France), you can access the Invoices Related to DN/CN form, which enables you to enter the invoice number of the invoice amended by the credit note. You can enter the invoice number for only those invoices processed by the Update Customer Sales program (R42800).

You can associate an invoice to a credit note at the header or line level. For both the header level and line level, you can enter multiple invoice numbers if all of the invoices belong to the same year. You can enter related invoices that belong to different years when:

  • The invoices are associated to different lines of the credit note.

  • One invoice is associated at the header level and a different invoice is associated at the line level.

The processing options that you set in the PO - Localization Invoice Entry program (P7433B11) define the information that is required or allowed on the Invoices Related to DN/CN form. The system also uses these processing options to determine the invoices from which you can select when you use the search function for the Document Number field on the Invoices Related to DN/CN form.
