What is customer refund tracking?
Customer refund tracking means keeping a clear record of every amount you pay back to a customer: how much, when and against what. In CIPHER CRM a refund always sits on a credit note, which shows what you owed in the first place. The refund lowers the remaining credit and comes with its own receipt.
CIPHER CRM ties every refund to the credit note behind it. A credit note records money you owe a customer, perhaps after a return, an overcharge or a cancelled order. When you decide to pay some or all of that back, rather than apply it to a future bill, you record a refund on the credit note. CIPHER CRM caps the refund at the credit still remaining, so a double entry or a slip cannot pay back more than was owed. Each refund gets its own downloadable receipt, and the Refunds tab on the credit note lists them all. One credit note can also be split, with part refunded and part applied to open invoices, while a live summary shows Total, Applied, Refunded and Remaining. The credit note closes itself once nothing is left. Your team pays the money back as usual, and CIPHER CRM keeps the record.
