Credit notes


The credit notes issued by an organization for a customer can be created using the Credit Notes page. Credit Note can be issued as a goodwill gesture, in case buyer wants to return previously purchased goods, instead of providing cash refund. The credit note is generally issued for a value less than or equal to the amount on the invoice. Payments can also be disbursed against a Credit Note. The General Ledger Entry created for a particular credit note can also be viewed herein (see figure 1).
