About

A customer says the carton arrived crushed or units short. The support ticket says so. The shipment record says what left the dock, and the tracking record says what the carrier did with it. This operator reads all three and the invoice they belong to. When the ticket, the shipment, and the invoice agree on the order and the quantity, it drafts the credit memo.

The draft names the invoice it credits, the lines and quantities, the reason from the ticket, and the evidence it used. A person in finance approves it, edits it, or declines it. Only then is a credit note created in Xero, a sales credit memo in Business Central, or a credit memo transformed from the invoice in NetSuite.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Credit Memo and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Zendesk tickets with status, tags, and custom_fields where you record the order number and the claim type (short, damaged, price)
  • Gorgias tickets and their messages, matched to the order through the ticket's customer and the order number in custom_fields
  • ShipStation shipments with shipmentItems (sku, quantity), shipDate, trackingNumber, and carrierCode, matched by orderNumber
  • EasyPost tracker status and status_detail, including delivered, failure, damaged, lost, and return_to_sender
  • Open invoices in Xero (ACCREC), Business Central (salesInvoice with orderNumber and remainingAmount), and NetSuite, with line prices
  • Credit memos it proposed earlier for the same invoice, so a second claim on one order is shown against the first

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose a Xero ACCRECCREDIT credit note in DRAFT for the short or damaged lines, with the ticket and shipment attached as evidence
  • Target capability: propose a Business Central salesCreditMemo linked by invoiceNumber, with customerReturnReasonId set to the claim type
  • Target capability: propose a NetSuite credit memo transformed from the invoice, with only the affected lines kept
  • Target capability: propose a price-error credit for the difference between the invoiced price and the price on the order
  • Target capability: propose a reply on the ticket telling the customer the credit amount once the memo is approved

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Credit the units that never arrived

    A Zendesk ticket tagged short-shipment is matched to the ShipStation shipment by orderNumber. Where shipped quantity is below invoiced quantity, a Xero credit note for the gap is proposed.

    With Zendesk, ShipStation, Xero

  • Damage the carrier already admitted

    When an EasyPost tracker reports status_detail damaged for an order with an open Gorgias ticket, a Business Central sales credit memo is drafted against the invoice with the return reason set.

    With EasyPost, Gorgias, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

  • Fix the price on the invoice, not the ticket

    A ticket that quotes a lower order price than the NetSuite invoice line is proposed as a price-error credit for the difference, transformed from the invoice so the lines match.

    With NetSuite, Zendesk

Requirements

  • A support connector where claims arrive: Zendesk or Gorgias, with an order number stored on the ticket
  • A shipping source for what shipped and what the carrier reported: ShipStation shipments, EasyPost trackers, or both
  • A ledger connector with invoices and credit memos: Xero, Business Central, or NetSuite
  • An order number that appears on the ticket, the shipment, and the invoice. Without it there is no match.
  • A credit policy: which claim types qualify, the maximum credit per order without a second approver, and who approves
Authentication
It carries no login of its own. It reads tickets, shipments, and invoices through the connectors you attach, with the scopes you grant each one.

Limits

  • It drafts credits for short shipments, damage, and price errors that the records support. A claim with no shipment record is listed, never drafted.
  • Damage evidence is the carrier's scan or the ticket's words. It does not read photos.
  • In NetSuite, transforming an invoice into a credit memo needs the A/R feature, and SuiteTax for taxed lines.
  • It creates no credit and sends no reply on its own. Every draft waits for a person.

Questions and answers

What exactly lands in front of finance?
One draft per claim: the invoice, the lines and quantities to credit, the amount, the ticket that raised it, and the shipment or tracking record that supports it. Finance approves, changes the amount, or declines with a note.
Where is the evidence kept after approval?
On the receipt for that credit: ticket id, shipment id, tracker status, invoice number, the memo it created, who approved, and when. Declined drafts keep the reason so a repeat claim shows the history.
Will a customer ever be credited without approval?
No. A credit note or credit memo is created only after a person approves the draft, and then once. If the same ticket is reopened, the earlier credit is shown instead of a new draft.
