[GNC] Credits

[Aaron Mina]

Hello Michael,

Thank you for pointing me there.  This helped me see the radio button 
option for "Invoice" and "Credit Note" when creating a new invoice.

I searched the site for "Credit Limit" and "Customer Credit Limit" to 
see if there was any documentation around that, thinking that it would 
be the credits that client has to use and then the credit note would 
subtract from that.  It doesn't look like it does that and I tried to 
post a payment to the credit note to find that it doesn't show up there 
either.

I am half way there, just need the other part of the puzzle, especially 
since this year is ending and trying to wind down the books.

Thank you for the help thus far, and here's to hoping to cross the 
finish line with this soon!
Aaron
