Customers frequently encounter business scenarios where vendor credit notes are issued independently of any previously posted vendor invoice. Currently, Project Operations does not support posting such standalone credit notes, creating a gap in functionality compared to Finance & Operations (F&O), where users can create Purchase Orders (POs) with negative quantities or unit prices to handle these cases.

This limitation prevents customers from accurately reflecting vendor account updates and project-related financials when no invoice line exists. The inability to post standalone credit notes in Project Operations disrupts synchronization with F&O and hinders compliance with financial and project tracking requirements.

We propose enhancing Project Operations to allow posting vendor credit notes directly against projects, even when no linked vendor invoice line exists. This would ensure seamless integration with F&O, support accurate vendor account management, and accommodate real-world subcontracting and procurement workflows.
