Refund Cancelled Order when Integrated with an Accounting Package

Refund Cancelled Order when Integrated with an Accounting Package

Overview  

In KCC there is no option to refund a sales order unless you have issued an invoice. However, if the order is cancelled you likely haven't produced an invoice. Refunds will only sync from your accounts package to KCC and so the first part of this process is to export a credit note.
