Setup
You will need Xero, Sage or Myob Business accounting integration connected to your workspace with Sync Credit Notes sync setting set to Update only. Other integrations, non-cloud and offline integrations are not supported.
For Sage and Xero: Due to rounding differences, invoice totals may occasionally mismatch when issuing credits. To prevent this issue, create a rounding account code in your accounting partner and then provide this code in the Rounding Account field when editing the accounting integration in Control Panel > Accounting. So, any future credits or invoices with rounding differences will automatically include a ‘rounding’ line item in Sage or Xero to resolve discrepancies.
You will also need the following permissions in your security group:
Can create, update and delete credit notes.
Can view invoices and credit notes.

Credits raised directly in the accounting partner are not visible in Uptick. This means Uptick will not warn you about any overpayments kept as a credit in your accounting partner, your accounts team will need to manage this separately.

Credit notes can be raised ONLY against invoices which:
Aren't in Draft, Voided or Deleted status; and
Have been successfully pushed to the accounting partner; and
Haven't been fully credited already.
