Vue d’ensemble
Creates draft-status credit notes corresponding to selected return quantities, distributed against the relevant source invoices.
Exemple
After inspecting a return, prepare credit notes for accepted quantities before issuing them.
Parameters 2
return
Platform Return whose lifecycle or quantities must be updated.
quantity_basis
Return quantity stage used as the calculation basis: requested, authorized, received, or accepted quantity according to the node contract.
Outputs 1
credit_notes
Draft-status credit notes created against source invoices from the selected return quantities.
Behavior
The node uses the selected quantity basis and order-to-invoice relationships to create the appropriate preparatory accounting documents.
Key point The node applies a canonical business operation: it does not bypass the object's lifecycle and fails when the requested transition is incompatible with the current state.
Limits and responsibilities
- The created credit notes are real resources in
draftstatus, not non-persisted process drafts. - Creating them does not issue them or automatically trigger associated refunds.
