4 min read

A credit note reduces the amount a customer owes you. It is used when goods are returned, a pricing error occurred, or a discount is agreed after invoicing.

  1. 1Go to Sales → Sales Returns and click New.
  2. 2Select the original invoice being credited.
  3. 3Enter the lines and quantities to reverse. For physical returns, stock is returned to the selected branch immediately on posting.
  4. 4Apply the credit note against an outstanding invoice, or issue a cash refund.

A credit note must be linked to the original invoice so the accounts receivable sub-ledger stays accurate. Free-standing credit notes are not supported.
