Subject: Credit Note Integrated from MYOB to LinkSOFT Fail to sign into TIMS as the Reference Number is missing
Summary:    
Credit notes from MYOB are missing the Reference Number. This is causing VMS to fail.

MYOB API shows the "Applied To Invoice Number" in the "Journal Memo" only when the credit memo is applied to a single Invoice.

Another API called "Credit Settlement" contains the Credit Note" to "Invoice" mapping. However, FRCS allows only 1 Reference number per Credit Note.

** REFERENCE NUMBER is the Credit Note  "Applied To Invoice Number"

To resolve this issue we need to make the following changes:

  1. Use the "Journal Memo" to extract the "Applied To Invoice Number"
  2. If the "Journal Memo" does not have a valid "Invoice Number", VMS will fail and the user will need to allocate the REFERENCE NUMBER manually.

Teams session with Vineshwar. Discussion Notes:

  1. The "Reference Number" is used by VMS to denote the "Invoice Number" that the "Credit Note" is applied to.
  2. MYOB API for Credit Notes does not contain the "Applied To Number". Therefore we cannot automatically populate the "reference Number". We believe this is because MYOB allows Multiple Invoices to a Credit Note.
  3. MYOB has a "Credit Settlement" API that can be used to extract the "Applied To" Invoice Number

The workaround is to Manually update the "Reference Number" for Credit Notes for versions 14.60 and older.

In version 14.70, we will add an API call that will extract "Credit Settlements" and update the credit note "Reference Number"

Important Note: VMS does not allow Multiple Reference Numbers to a credit note, therefore MYOB Credits will need to be restricted to One Credit Note per Invoice.

Hi guys, I have checked the Credit Settlement process and this already exists in the MYOB Integration.

To enable this integration, you need to enable  "MYOBAccountRightV2.API ~> AccountsReceivableTransaction ~> SaleCreditSettlement".

When this integration is enabled, the API will pull Credit Note Allocations and update the invoice with the "Reference number"
