When to use a credit note
Use a credit note when an issued invoice must be reduced or canceled. Start from the saved invoice so the customer, items, tax treatment and original invoice reference stay consistent.
What should it include?
Include a unique credit note number and date, original invoice number and date, customer details, credited items, tax, correction amount and a clear reason for the correction.
Where it fits in the workflow
A credit note reduces or cancels amounts from an earlier invoice. The original invoice stays saved, and a corrected replacement invoice can be created as a separate document.
A few useful answers
Does the credit note overwrite the invoice?
No. It creates a separate local document with its own number and keeps the original invoice unchanged.
Can I make a partial correction?
Yes. Choose partial correction and keep only the items or amounts that need to be credited. Review tax and totals before sharing the PDF.
Where are my documents saved?
Only in this browser on this device. Clearing browser data deletes local drafts. Download PDFs you need to keep, and avoid shared devices for private customer information.
