You can add a negative value or a positive value to the Discount column in a credit note. A negative value in the discount column adds to the Total value that is available to a client as a credit or as a refund. For example, if you want to make more money available to a client as a credit or refund, add a negative value to the discount column. Credit note example shows a credit note for ā$70.00 with a discount of ā10.00% added. As a result, the total available to a client as a credit or refund is ā$77.00.
Negative values for refunds
One method to do a client refund in ezyVet is to select the New Payment button that shows in ezyVet screens. The New Payment dialog box that shows after you select New Payment has a Payment box. The Payment box automatically shows the Current Balance value from the applicable client contact record. If the Payment box shows a negative value, the value is available to the client as a refund.
