Frequently asked questions
When should I issue a credit note?
Use one to reduce or reverse all or part of an earlier invoice, such as after a return, cancellation or overcharge.
Should it reference the original invoice?
Yes. The original invoice number makes the adjustment easier to understand and reconcile.
Is a credit note a refund?
A credit note records a reduction in the amount owed. A separate payment record may still be needed when money is refunded.
