We “sell” stock to our taproom and then issue a credit note to cover the transaction. Creating a credit note to cover this transaction is laborious because we need to add each item sold individually. Therefore it’d be great if I could look up the sale and then choose to issue a credit note against it in it’s entirety. It would probably be handy to have a check box approach so that individual items could be selected, but having an easy way to credit against the entire invoice is my priority. ---

Thanks for the great suggestion, Glenn, I can see how this would be really useful. I’m not saying that we won’t build this (we will), but just in the meantime, can I ask why you don’t just sell to yourself as a £0 value invoice? If you prepared the order and then added a discount of the full amount (or even made a price book with everything at £0), this would remove the need for the credit note completely. I thought this was worth mentioning as it might save you time before we’ve had a chance to build your suggestion. ---

We use a 100% discount price book for internal sales - you can still get the costs through the margin reports ---

I appreciate the original reason for this may have been resolved by using a zero-value invoice, but it’s still a great suggestion and I’m pleased to confirm that it’s been implemented now (in conjunction with the related request at [Credit Notes - Derived From - Allocated Against & General Improvements](https://community.breww.com/t/credit-notes-derived-from-allocated-against-general-improvements/3180)) 🎉 For more, please see the updated help guide at [How to create a credit note](https://community.breww.com/t/how-to-create-a-credit-note/757). ---
