Introduction¶
Negative Sales by Codadot is an extension that allows you to create and post fully negative sales orders and sales invoices, indicating that although you've sent an invoice out to your customer, you have to pay the customer. Additionally, it allows you to post fully positive sales credit memos to correct wrongly posted negative sales invoices.
Use cases¶
Example 1: You have to pay security deposits back to the customer¶
You sell drinks served in crates that have security deposits on it. A customer of yours has ordered 1 pallet of crates this month. Next to the newly ordered crates, the customer hands back in 6 pallets of crates from the last couple of orders. As a result, you have to send a negative invoice to your customer, combining both the newly ordered pallet and the larger return.
Example 2: Buy goods from customers¶
You buy an item from a customer or private individual instead of an supplier. You cannot use purchase invoices to buy goods from customers, and if you would create customers as suppliers, your master data gets polluted. Additionally, you do not get External Document Numbers from customers as there's no matching sales invoice number.
Warning
A scenario like this requires additional consideration to user input as the unit cost will have direct consequences on your value entries and thus inventory valuation. Please contact your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner or look at TradeIn for advanced support for trading in used goods.
Example 3: Customer preference¶
If you deal with B2B customers that have a specific requirement regarding invoicing with negative amounts, you will be able to issue them a negative sales invoice.
