Credit Notes: How to clear a charge

Sometimes, you might decide a member shouldn’t have to pay for a charge—maybe they haven’t been attending lately, or they missed a booking but had a good reason.

Rather than voiding the charge, the best practice is to use a Credit Note. This clears the charge from the account without deleting the history, so you’ve got a proper record for future reference.

How to Apply a Credit Note

  1. Go to the member’s Accounts and Billing tab

  2. Click the [Adjustment] button at the top

  3. Choose Credit Note as the adjustment method

  4. Select the charge you wish to base the credit note on

  5. Enter the reason for the credit (handy for future reference, & helps your team understand why it was applied)

  6. Enter the amount you’re crediting
