Purchase order with negative total

I wish to have purchase credit notes numbered and filed in the same transaction sequence as purchase invoices (rather than with a separate i.d.).

With accounting software that I have previously used this is possible by simply having a purchase invoice with negative amounts and totals, but Solar does not seem to let me do this.

Is the only way to do this in Solar by using a purchase credit note and then number it manually with the next number in the purchase order sequence?

If I do this will the purchase invoice autonumbering system always try to use the 'missing' number from its sequence (i.e. the one that I used for the credit)?

Hi Stuart,

Yes you are correct - Solar Accounts will not let you have a negative amount on a purchase invoice, so you will need to instead create a purchase credit note then manually change the ID. To 'skip' the next default number for purchase invoices click menu Setup > Generated IDs, then increment the Next Number field in the Purchase Invoice column.

Regards,
