Receiving a Debit amount from a supplier refers to a financial obligation they owe you, such as when you return products previously purchased from them. Suppliers can either pay you immediately or defer payment to a later time. Rewaa provides a feature to document the receipt of debit amounts from suppliers at any time.
Steps to Receive a Debit Amount
Navigate to:
Purchases and Suppliers > Suppliers > Search for the supplier by name or code.
Click the three dots in the Actions column and select:
Receive Debit Amount.
A list of unpaid invoices from the supplier will appear.
Select the payment method.
Enter the amount paid by the supplier (partial or full payment).
Click Pay. The invoice will be settled immediately.
Settling Payables Using Credit Balances
Rewaa allows you to settle outstanding amounts with a supplier using their available credit balance.
For example: If a supplier has a credit balance of SAR 500 from an unpaid purchase invoice and also has a debit balance of SAR 500 resulting from a product return that has not been refunded, you can easily settle the amounts against each other.
To settle the amounts, navigate to:
Purchases and Suppliers > Suppliers > Click the three dots next to the supplier’s name > Select Receive Debit Amount.
Select the payment method: Credit (this option appears automatically if there is an available credit balance from unpaid purchase invoices or an opening balance).
Enter the amount to be settled > Click Pay.
ℹ️ If the outstanding amount exceeds the available credit, you can split the payment into two: first using the available credit balance, and second using another payment method.
