Invoicing glossary
Credit note
A credit note is a document that reduces the amount a customer owes, used to correct or refund part or all of an invoice.
Credit note: a clear definition
If you overcharged, a client returned something, or you agreed a discount after invoicing, you issue a credit note rather than editing the original invoice — that keeps your records accurate and auditable. The credit can be refunded or applied against a future invoice.
