Release Notes
Invoicing Admin has access to this functionality.
Path to the user permissions:
- Sys Configuration > Roles > Invoicing Admin > Role Functionalities
- Find Document Exports > Force Export and tick the Access box

On the same page, the second permission is:

When the user permission is enabled then the user has the ability to force export a credit note.
If a user raises and approves an Order, records the Invoice against the GRN with a discrepancy and raises a Credit Request, they are taken to the Credit Request screen. From here they can create a credit note document.
- The new Force Export button will appear on the Credit Note document
