Hello Ricardo Gross

Yes, it is possible to create credit notes while returning goods.

when we returns product, system create stock.picking record with value of Reference = "Return of WH/OUT/00016". so we can create automatic action on create new record of stock.picking model to check reference value if it is start with "Return" keyword then get sale_id (default field in stock.picking)

Now sale order do have invoice_ids fiels to get invoice and we can call "reverse_move" of those invoice to crate credit notes.

please check automated action with python code 


# check if action trigger for return order and related sale order has invoice created with payment
if
record.origin.startswith('Return of') and record.sale_id.invoice_ids.filtered(lambda move: move.state == 'posted'):
invoice_ids = record.sale_id.invoice_ids.filtered(lambda move: move.state == 'posted')
# create refund wizard
move_reversal = env['account.move.reversal'].with_context(active_model="account.move", active_ids=invoice_ids.ids).create({
'date': datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d'),
'reason': 'no reason',
'refund_method': 'refund',
'journal_id': invoice_ids.journal_id.id,})
# create revese move
move_reversal.reverse_moves()
# get last invoice as credit note
invoice_refund = record.sale_id.invoice_ids.sorted(key=lambda inv: inv.id, reverse=False)[-1]
# post credit note invoice_refund.action_post()

Result:



Thanks & Regards,

Thank you very much! there is still a small detail to correct, because in this way, the credit note is already being created before I confirm the return, and if I delivery 2 units and return only 1, the credit note should be only for 1, not 2 units

I usually solve the problem of automatically generating credit notes after a confirmed return using Automated Actions combined with a small Python script. The key is to make sure that the credit note is only generated after a confirmed return and only for orders that have been invoiced. If you have time, check out https://unblockedgamespremium.io for more details.

Gracias amigo, me funcionó para V17 pero tuve que eliminar #'refund_method': 'refund' ya que ese campo no está disponible en el modelo account.move.reversal
