Capturing a Short Delivery and Creating a Credit Note

Thandekile Updated by Thandekile

Introduction

A Short Delivery occurs when a Sales Force Member (Distributor/ Manager) has been over invoiced, meaning the delivered stock quantity that shows on Odoo is more than the stock quantity that has been physically received by the Distributor.

The correction/ reversal would have to be made on Odoo.

The Short Delivery Operation allows you to reverse the stock location from Partner Location/Customer to WH/Stock, and then create a Credit note for the amount that the Distributor was overcharged.
