Applying the advance to a customer invoice

When you create a customer advance from a payment, Wafeq will automatically create a Credit Note for the customer. You can find the credit note by going to Credit notes in the left side menu.

You can then apply the credit note to an invoice.

Crediting the customer in a specific currency

You can only apply credit notes to invoices that have the same currency as the credit note.

When creating the payment advance, you can change the amount to credit currency so that you can apply the credit note to an invoice of the same currency.
