A credit note, or credit memo, is a document issued to a customer that notifies them that they have been credited a certain amount.
- There are several reasons that can lead to a credit note, such as:
- a mistake in the invoice
- a return of the goods, or a rejection of the services
- the goods delivered are damaged
You can create a credit note from scratch by going to Accounting ‣ Customers ‣ Credit Notes, and by clicking on Create. Filling the Credit Note’s form works the same way as the Invoice’s form.
However, most of the time, credit notes are generated directly from the invoices they are related to. To do so, open the Customer Invoice, and click on Add Credit Note.
