Dealer Returns and Damage Claims

Damage, shortage and scheme claims are raised against the invoice with photographs and followed until settled. A credit note closes each claim and returns goods to stock.

Claims agreed by phone

Returns are often agreed by phone between two people, and nobody writes them down. Later, only trust records the arrangement. A claim raised against the invoice gives that arrangement a record.

How a claim runs

Raised against the bill

Damage, shortage or a scheme claim is attached to the invoice it belongs to, not to a dealer in general. The disputed line is visible.

Photographs on the claim

The dealer or the sales officer adds pictures to the claim itself, where they stay, and not in a WhatsApp thread.

Followed until settled

An open claim stays open and visible to both sides. Nobody has to remember to chase it.

A credit note closes it

The credit note moves the dealer’s ledger and puts the goods back into stock by the same count, so the godown figure and the books agree.

What can be reviewed later

  • Returns and credit notes against their invoices
  • Claims open, by dealer and by age
  • Damage by item, which sometimes points at the packing
  • Scheme claims settled for the month
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it decide whether a claim is genuine?

No. A person who knows the dealer and the item reviews the photographs and decides. The module links the claim, the decision and the credit note into one chain instead of three conversations.

What if goods come back without a claim being raised?

Yes, a return can be entered when the lorry arrives, against the original invoice. Stock moves and the credit note follows. The photographs are missing, which matters if damage is later disputed.

Will our accountant see the credit notes?

Yes. Credit notes leave as a file the accountant imports under their own ledger names, along with invoices and receipts. Claim history and photographs stay here.
