Supplier credit calculator
Calculate the difference between an approved return and issued credit notes, then between issued and applied credits.
Two gaps, not a recovery promise
Issuance gap = approved return − issued credits. Application gap = issued credits − applied credits. Use one supplier, one approved return and one currency.
Results to review
Enter amounts and select “Calculate gaps”. For the fictional 10,000 / 8,000 / 5,000 example, the gaps are 2,000 and 3,000 — two different stages to review.
This compares totals; it does not match documents or run a pilot review. Do not present the gaps as a recovery promise. Equal totals can hide incorrect matches.
Before interpreting the result
- Establish what the supplier actually approved. A submitted RMA is not necessarily an approved amount.
- Include all linked partial credit notes and applications, without duplicates.
- Do not mix currencies, net and gross amounts, or reporting periods.
- Record the source of each total, the owner and the next review date.
