About Invoices and Refunds
Invoices are the transactions used to record the sale of goods and services to your customers. This one screen (see Figure 5-1) can be used to record point of sale transactions which are paid immediately, or transactions which are charged to an account and paid later. For returns or mistakes, refunds can be entered to reverse the invoice transactions. This screen also supports point of sale equipment (barcode scanners, cash drawers, pole displays, etc. ) for easy integration in a retail environment.

Point of Sale vs. Accounts Receivable
Two distinct sales models can be handled by the sales invoice screen.
Point of Sale
This business model is characterized by a relatively high sales volume, no customer data entry, and immediate payment of transactions.
To accommodate the point of sale business model, many of the detail fields (such as account number) may be removed, using the options in the Sales Invoices category of Setup ... Accounting. Automatic pricing can be calculated and quantities and pricing can be skipped and locked, using settings found in Inventory.
In addition, the program supports a wide array of sales automation equipment, such as bar code readers, cash drawers and pole displays. See the POS Hardware category of Setup ... POS for details. A user-specific "point of sale mode" can even be activated in the Security Administrator which allows repeat transaction creation without user menu/toolbar selection.
Accounts Receivable
This business model is characterized by a relatively low sales volume, detail customer data tracking, and application of balances for later payment.
To accommodate this business model, the program supports a detail contact manager and customer database. Item descriptions, quantities and pricing need not be defaulted and can be overridden on each transaction, if desired.
In addition, the program can record sales quotes and sales orders, which can be converted into invoice transactions. Customer RMAs can also be created to approve returns. Additionally, detailed aging reports, customer statements, collection notices, and finance charges can be processed to assist in collections.
Payment Details
When the invoice is accepted, the invoice payment screen will pop up. If a customer account was chosen, the user can choose to apply the invoice to a customer's balance. If not, or if desired, the user can accept full or partial payment. You can split the tender (payment types) up to three ways.
Field by Field Help - Payment Details Screen
Tender Fields
Payment Type
Select the type of payment customer is making.
Ck No. / Credit Card
Enter the check number or credit card here when a check or credit card payment type is used.
Ck / Exp Date
Enter the date the check was written or the expiration date of the credit card being used. Only applicable when check or a credit card payment type is being used.
CVV2
Enter the CVV2 or CVC2 code on the credit card here for security purposes on a credit card payment. This field may be hidden by selecting it in Setup ... POS.
| CVV2 stands for Card Verification Value 2, used and named by Visa, while CVC2 stands for Card Validation Code, used and named by MasterCard. CID stands for Card Identification Digits, used and named by American Express.
|
Amount
Enter the amount being paid using the particular payment type.
Street Addr
Enter the numerical portion of the street address here for AVS matching on a credit card payment. This is matched up to a customer's billing information in the credit card processor's database, providing more security on credit card payments.
Zip Code
Enter the customer's five-digit billing ZIP code here for AVS matching on a credit card payment. This is matched up to a customer's billing information in the credit card processor's database, providing more security on credit card payments.
Other Fields
Use credit card on file
When checked, uses the credit card stored in the customer's record. This field will be present only if a credit card number has been stored in the customer's information.
Credit to Apply
This field will appear if the customer chosen currently has a credit balance. Enter the amount of this credit to apply to the invoice.
Balance Due
Displays the amount of the invoice that is still outstanding (after payment application).
COD Amount
Enter the amount to be collected by the shipping carrier. This amount can be different from the invoice amount. This field will only be present if a COD type shipping method is chosen.
Cash Back
When a debit card payment type is used, enter the amount of cash back desired by the customer here.
Buttons
Apply Balance
Click this button to apply the remainder of the balance due to the customer's account for future payment. This option is only available for invoices assigned to a customer account. This button may be optionally locked.
OK
Click this button to accept the payment information as it is.
Cancel
Click this button to discard the payment information and go back to the invoice screen.
Invoice Item Details
ManageMore allows you to view a list of the items on each invoice or refund transaction without having to open the transactions individually. By clicking on the Show invoice item detail list button on the Invoice list window, ManageMore shows a listing of all of the items found on the corresponding invoices. This list can then be sorted and viewed like any other list box in ManageMore; it can also be used to create custom IntelliQueries and reports.
Intellisearch
The Intellisearch method is an easy-to-use, convenient method of searching for items in your Supertrack inventory. The power of Intellisearch lies in its ability to retrieve Supertrack items by a keyword or phrase in the item's description. Intellisearch can look for items even if you do not know the exact spelling of the keyword or phrase, or if partial words are entered.
Lets say you have several items entered into inventory, with descriptions as follows:
Deluxe Widget with Gold Trim
Widget Professional 2000
Standard Base Model Widget
A search for "Widget" or even "Widjit" or "Wigit" will find any of these items.
To activate the Intellisearch feature, select Setup...Options...General Options and check the box labeled "Allow fast inventory description searches using Intellisearch lookup engine" in the Company Setup tab. Click OK to save the new settings.
Once you have enabled Intellisearch, a new tab labeled "Intellisearch" will be present in your Supertrack inventory in Lists...Inventory...Supertrack Inventory List. You will also see this tab whenever you click the SKU Search button on a transaction. To use the Intellisearch feature, simply switch to the Intellisearch tab and type a keyword or phrase that identifies the item in the Search field. You will be presented with a list of Supertrack items with descriptions that match the word(s) you have entered.
Check the box labeled "Search inventory from current location only" to search items only from the location in which the user is currently located. Check the box labeled "Use Sounds-like Search Method" if you want the program to search for keywords based on pronunciation instead of spelling.
Batch Printing Invoices
ManageMore has a capability to print multiple invoices at once. By clicking on the Batch Print Invoices button, you can choose to print invoices from a particular date or transactions number range. You may also choose to print refunded and voided transactions as well. This process is mainly for those companies who want a hard copy of their transactions at the end of a given time period for use in other operations of the business or for record keeping without having to print transactions individually.
Specific Location
Enter or select the location from which transactions should be printed.
To Be Printed/Specific Range
Choose whether a date range or transaction number range should be considered in printing. If a date range is used, the transactions will be marked as printed and will not print again under the date range criteria. If a specific range is used, the transactions will print, regardless of whether they have printed before or not.
Date Range
Select the date range for which you want transactions to print. This option is available only when To Be printed is chosen above.
Starting/Ending Date
Select or enter the starting/ending date for which you want transactions to print. This option is available only when To Be printed is chosen above.
Starting/Ending Transaction No.
Enter the exact starting/ending transaction number for which you want transactions to print. This option is available only when Specific Range is chosen above.
Issuing Refunds
Refunds (also referred to as credit memos) are used to reverse all or part of sales invoice transactions. A refund can be created by selecting an existing invoice and selecting the delete button, by selecting the Refund menu item, or by selecting the Refund transaction type from the invoice screen.
If an original invoice was selected, or is entered in the Ref Invoice No. field, the original invoice details will automatically be filled. The quantities remaining to be refunded may optionally be filled. Alternatively, Customer RMAs may be used to pre-approve refund transactions. If this option is used, a Ref RMA No. will be entered.
When completed, the refund may be paid to the customer by recording the amounts on the Payment Details screen. Cash tender will be limited to original cash tender. Check tender can cause an optional company check to be created. If this refund is for an outstanding customer account, it may be applied all or in part to the account using the Apply Refund button.

Q & A - Invoices and Refunds
| Q01. | Can I print a packing slip for invoices created?

|
|
|
| Q03. | What if I want to examine refunded items, before returning them to inventory?
|
| A03. | Activate the Return Processing feature on the Setup ... Accounting screen, in the Sales Invoices category. See the related topic for more instructions.
|
|

|
|
|
| Q05. | Can I prevent my employees from making changes to the item pricing on the invoice?
|
| A05. | You can do so by either setting up a password in Setup ... Accounting ... Sales Invoices ... Security, or by clicking on the Options tab of the individual item's supertrack inventory record.
|
|
|
| Q06. | How do I apply the balance of an invoice to a customer's account for later billing?
|
| A06. | When asked for payment on an invoice, you should click the Apply Balance button.
|
|
|
| Q07. | When I try to apply the balance to a customer's invoice, ManageMore comes up with a box that says "Customer does not have privileges for invoice terms or due date defined." How do I stop this?
|
| A07. | You will need to close the invoice, then edit the customer record. Once there, click on the Personal tab, and make sure the checkbox labeled "Allow On Account purchases" is checked on.
|
|
|
| Q08. | How do I do a credit memo in ManageMore?
|

|
| Q09. | I have to refund a transaction to a customer's account, but I do not want it to affect the earliest invoice. How can I refund a paid invoice to their account and affect another invoice?
|

Then enter the amount of the refund and click OK. Then you can create a manual payment on the account, select the same payment method you chose in the last step, then enter the amount of the refund in the field provided.
