Q. How can I view the transactions in the reports?
A. In the Accrual based report, the data will be shown based on the accrual accounting method. Since the full amount is shown in the report, whether it is a partial or unpaid invoice. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Cash based reports if you want to view the actual cash in and out transactions.
Q. Can I refund a partial paid invoice which has a gift card in it?
A. Yes! You can certainly refund that invoice, but the gift card amount will be returned in full (since partial refund is not possible in case of gift cards). From the paid amount, the remaining amount will be distributed among the selected items which you wish to refund.
Q. How can I view the restocking fee on the refunded invoice?
A. You can view a Restocking Fee label on the refunded invoice. It will show the percentage of the restocking fee charged for each line item.
Q. How will a deposit collected on a repair show in refund?
If a deposit was collected on a repair, it will be shown as a separate line item on the refund pop up to ensure accurate calculations if the employee wants to deduct the deposit.
