If your Customer/Sub-Reseller
made a Payment which bounced back, or Charged back, you may need to follow some
steps to reflect this in their Account. These steps only need to be followed if
you have Credited the Customer/Sub-Reseller with these funds.
On an immediate basis you will
need to Add the following Debit Notes to their Account:
1.
Add a Debit Note to their
Account for the initial funds credited to their Account. For instance when the
funds were received, a Receipt of the following type may have been created -
Receipt ID: 1
Amount: USD 100 (INR 5000)
The above example assumes that
your Selling Currency is USD and your Accounting Currency is INR
In this case you would add the
following Debit Note to the Customer/Sub-Reseller Account -
Debit Note ID: 1
Description: Debit Note raised to reflect Chargeback of PayPal Transaction (Ref:
Receipt ID 1)
Amount: USD 100 (INR 5000)
In the above example we have
maintained the same Amounts as in the Receipt. It is important that the Debit
Note consist of the same amount in Selling Currency as the Original Receipt.
This is because you have credited that much spending capacity to the
Customer/Sub-Reseller which you need to revoke. For the sake of ensuring no
Forex Gain/Loss in this transaction it is always better to ensure that both the
Selling Currency Amount and the Accounting Currency Amount are the same.
Of course if your Selling Currency is the same as your Accounting Currency you
will not face this issue. Check Currency issues, Conversion Rate, Selling currency and Accounting currency for further details.
2.
Add a Debit Note to their
Account to reflect any charges that you wish to levy for the
Chargeback/Bounceback processing. For instance you may wish to create the
following Debit Note -
Debit Note ID: 2
Description: Debit Note raised to reflect Charges for Chargeback Processing of
PayPal Transaction (Ref: Receipt ID 1)
Amount: USD 5 (INR 300)
In the above example you may note
that a Debit Note has been raised to the tune of USD 5 (INR 300). There are a
few important things to note out here -
-
Firstly, it is you who decides
the amount of charges you wish to levy your Customer/Sub-Reseller for this
particular Chargeback/Bounceback. You may choose to not levy the same at all.
-
Secondly, the rate at which you
choose to levy the Debit Note for the charges may be the current rate. The
earlier Debit Note may have been passed by you at the earlier rate in order to
ensure that your Accounting is perfect, however the current charges related
Debit Note could be passed at current or different rate from the previous
Debit Note. Again this is your prerogative.
3. When you are raising the above
Debit Notes, it will offer you the option to set these as Greedy. A Greedy Debit
Note gets
automatically settled
-
if
there are Funds available in your Customer/Sub-Reseller's Debit Account, or
-
when your Customer/Sub-Reseller adds Funds in his Debit Account, or
-
at
the time your Customer/Sub-Reseller starts paying for another Invoice/Debit
Note, he is prompted to also pay for any Greedy Invoice or Debit Note.
4. You may need to follow up with
your Customer/Sub-Reseller in order to recover this Payment for these Debit
Notes from them. It may be a good idea to Lock/Suspend their Orders or Suspend
their access if required for collection
5. If eventually you realise that
this amount is irrecoverable you may have to write it off to Bad Debts.
