Credit and Debit Notes

Last changed in 04/01/2023

The credit and debit notes are important legal documents on the invoicing process, because they inform that a specific value has been added to or removed from the customer account.

Note types

The credit/debit notes are used to correct issued invoices and are used in different contexts.

The credit notes are sent to a buyer to specify that a specific amount was credited on the account, due to one of the following situations:

An amount over invoiced;
The correct discount rate is not applied;
The goods are damaged and are still in the warranty period;
The goods do not comply with the buyer specifications and, therefore, are returned.

The debit notes have the purpose of informing a supplier that the quantity and value of the goods being returned, requesting the return of the corresponding value. It is frequently used to return goods in credit.

From this invoicing feature, it is possible to correct invoices issued in a different software. Please note that, in these cases, since the invoice has not been issued on the software, the payables and receivables regarding this customer will have a negative or positive value.

Before issuing any type of note, you must adjust the setups for the correct document issue.

On Invoicing Engine, it is possible to create credit or debit notes to correct invoices issued on the system or in another management software. If the invoice has already been settled, before correcting it, you must cancel the receipt so that the invoice is in an open state.
