Customer Deposits
When a payment is recorded on a sales order, Evosus auto-creates a credit on the account called a “Deposit” and the deposit credit memo is “locked” to the Sales or Service Order. When the order is invoiced, the deposit is automatically applied to the invoice and the invoice balance is reduced by the amount of the deposit. If the deposit is unlocked from the order by manually removing the lock or canceling the order, the deposit converts to an account credit. The account defaults for Customer Deposits, Accounts Receivable, and Deposit Clearing is located under Administration > Accounting > General Setup > Accounting Defaults > Accounts Receivable.

Reversing Finance Charges
When a finance charge is reversed, a credit memo is created and automatically applied to the finance charge. The finance charge amount will post to the designated finance charge default under the Accounting Defaults. The credit memo used is determined by the Reverse Finance Charge Reason default designated under Administration > Accounting > General Setup > Accounting Defaults > Reasons; however the posting is a reversal of the original finance charge and will not use the general ledger account associated with the credit memo reason. The credit memo reason is used for text only.
