Creating a Credit Note

Creating a Credit Note

Credit notes are always linked directly to invoices, making it easy to manage credits and balances. Here’s how to create and handle credit notes:

Creating a Credit Note

  1. Open the Invoice
    Find the invoice you’d like to apply a credit note to. Open it and select Create a Credit Note from the "Actions" menu.

  2. Select Quantities
    Choose the quantities to include in the credit note. You can create multiple credit notes for a single invoice if needed.

  3. Create and Review
    Click Create to generate your credit note. It’ll be saved as a draft so you can double-check everything. When you’re ready, go to the "Actions" menu to confirm it or delete it if needed.

Key Things to Know About Credit Notes

  • Linked to Quantities, Not Amounts
    Credit notes are tied to product quantities on an invoice, so you can’t manually set the amount.

  • Marking Invoices as Paid
    If a credit note covers all items on an invoice, the invoice will automatically be marked as fully paid. Credit notes act as payments toward invoices.

  • Limits on Credit Note Amounts
    You can’t apply a credit note if it exceeds the remaining balance on an invoice.

  • Handling Existing Payments
    If there’s already a payment on the invoice, you’ll need to delete it first. This will unlock the “Create Credit Note” option.

  • Finding Your Credit Notes
    All your credit notes are organized under the Credit Notes tab. Head to the general menu, and select Credit Notes in the Invoices & Payments section.

  • Personalizing Credit Notes
    Customize your credit notes format from your general settings to fit your business needs (Your PDF settings).
