Docs Transactions Credit Notes

Credit Notes

Issue a credit note to reduce or reverse a sales invoice — for returns, billing errors, or price adjustments.

Creating a Credit Note

Go to Transactions → Credit Notes and click New Credit Note, or open a sales invoice and click Create Credit Note.

Field Description
Date Credit note date (required)
Customer Locked to the original invoice's customer
Original Invoice The sales invoice being credited (required)
Reference Optional reference number
Narration Internal note
Location Required if any line item is a goods item

Line items are inherited from the original invoice. Only the quantity is editable — price, discount, tax, and unit are locked.

Click Save to record the credit note. The entry is committed to the ledger immediately.

Notes

  • A credit note must always be linked to an original sales invoice.
  • Currency and exchange rate are inherited from the original invoice and cannot be changed.
  • Partially crediting an invoice is supported — enter a lower quantity than the original.
