A Credit note will correct the following detail ledger accounts:

  • The Creditor Account (CRE)
  • Stock Movement

A Credit note will correct the following main ledger accounts:

  • Creditors Control (CLI1)
  • VAT Control (CLI2)
  • Stock Control (CAS2)

Stock adjustment on the stock only involves two main ledger accounts namely: 

  • Stock adjustment account (eg EXP32)
  • Stock control account (CAS2)

The transaction takes place on the detail ledger but then adds up to the main ledgers mentioned above.
