Apply Credit if Available

In the review step, if there is a credit, you can select any open invoices and apply the credit immediately to them. The remaining credit can be applied to the dealer balance, or saved for future use where you can use it as a payment method when creating payments. After you’ve selected the options, click on “Complete return” and accept the confirmation dialog prompt.
