Frequently asked questions
When should a business issue a credit note?
Whenever the amount already invoiced to a customer needs to be reduced — goods were returned, the invoice overstated the quantity or rate, a post-sale discount was agreed, or a service was not delivered. The credit note reduces the customer's outstanding balance by the stated amount.
Does a credit note need to reference the original invoice?
Yes. Tax authorities and auditors expect a credit note to identify the invoice it corrects by number and date, along with the reason for the adjustment. This generator has dedicated fields for the original invoice number, its date and the reason.
What is the difference between a credit note and a refund?
A credit note is an accounting document that reduces what the customer owes; the balance can be offset against future invoices. A refund is the actual movement of money back to the customer. A credit note often precedes a refund but the two are recorded separately.
