Deleting Part of a Credit Memo
If a credit memo was partially applied to invoices and you only want to remove the unapplied portion, you’ll need to delete the original credit memo in full and recreate it for the applied amount.
Here’s how:
- Go to the Patient's Profile > Billing > Credit Memos.
- Click View to the right of the credit memo you want to partially delete.
- Click Unapply to the right of each invoice the credit memo has been applied to. Repeat until the credit memo is fully unapplied.
- Click the red Delete button to delete the original credit memo in full.
- Create a new credit memo for the amount that was applied to invoices.
- Apply the new credit memo to those invoices.
What to Expect
After you click Delete, the credit memo is permanently removed from the patient’s profile. If the credit memo had been applied to invoices, those invoices will show a balance owing. You can then collect payment directly from the patient or remove the invoices if they are no longer needed.
