Importing Customer Credit Notes into Xero

How to import a Customer Credit Note into Xero.

Overview

Cin7 customer Credit Notes can be imported into Xero, provided the following two conditions are fulfilled:

• The total of the Credit Note is not 0, and
• A Sales Reference and invoice date have been entered into the Credit Note.

We recommend importing customers before importing Credit Notes. This means that any new customers in Cin7 can be matched to existing customers in Xero correctly.

A Customer Credit Note once imported to Xero will apply to a customer account and must be manually applied to an invoice or payment by your bookkeeper or accountant.

The corresponding 'Cost of Goods Returned' is not imported to Xero at the same time as the Customer Credit Note, and follows the same principles as Cost of Goods Sold. For more information, see Cost of Goods Sold in Cin7.
