Credit Note questions
- When do I issue a credit note?
- When an invoice was wrong, goods came back, or you agreed a discount after invoicing. You cannot simply delete an invoice you have already issued.
- Should the amounts be negative?
- No. Enter positive amounts. The document is labelled a credit note, which is what tells the accounts it reduces what is owed.
- Does a credit note need to reference the original invoice?
- Yes, and in most of the EU it is required. Put the original invoice number in the note field.
