Credit Notes

Avatar

How do we issue credit notes and subsequently apply them to an invoice?

Avatar

@robert We are looking to support credits in the future. For now, we would suggest keeping a note of the credit in Manage > Project > (click into project) > Notes, and applying the credit when you run your invoice, as a negative number on it’s own line item.

Any news on this? I have exactly the same need. It would be really helpfull to have a real implementation instead of a workaround.

@bien Thanks for the nudge, we’ve actually gone ahead and pushed out our retainer feature:

While a feature for credits is on our radar, it’s not yet in active development.

Thought I would gently nudge again. Manage multiple clients that pay an extra $25 dollars or so on a specific invoice and would love to have that auto create a retainer for them – to apply to a future invoice. Keep up the great work guys – look forward to this feature.
cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion, @Cold Coffee Media! I’ll add it to our list.

Another nudge. I just had to issue a bunch of credit notes and it became very complicated. Another service/product I was considering has a credit note function, but I still prefer Harvest. I cannot imagine it having to be anything more complicated than a choice between an Invoice and Credit Note template. When I issued the credit notes, I just issued an invoice changing all details to represent a credit note, if this could already have been in place it would have saved me literally hours.

In Europe, with cross border VAT, resulting often wrong charges, this feature is very important.

Tossing my hat into the ring. I would really love to see Credit Notes and/or roll-over of over-payments so that future billed hours or projects can be pulled from the existing credit. It’s a more common occurrence than you might think!

+1 on this from me

if an invoice has a negative total you still need to apply a negative payment amount to it to have it marked as paid, and the paid amount then displays a “—£100” (note the double-minus) which makes no sense.

I am currently a test user of harvest – and i like it very much. But having no possiblity to issue credit notes is a no-go for me.
This is such a basic function in the invoicing workflow – i can´t beleve it´s not implemented yet! I can not simply delete an bad invoice?!

Is this feature already on your roadmap?

Avatar

I, too, would like this. A supplier requires a formal credit note, and I’d prefer to do this in Harvest rather than manually.

Avatar

Would like to add to VDHs comment that this is such a basic accounting function it is hard to believe A) that it was not included in Harvest from the beginning and B) that its been two years since it was raised in the forum and it has still not been addressed.

Harvest otherwise is a great app,When will this be implemented?

Thanks, everyone! We’re now channeling all of our feature requests through our support center so that we can keep better track of them. Please forward feature requests to support@harvestapp.com. Thanks!
