Introduction

You can create two types of credit notes or credit invoices, which are sales credit notes and direct credit notes. Sales and direct credit notes are created to rectify processed sales and direct invoices respectively. For example, if goods have been returned because they were damaged and cannot be repaired or replaced, or if the customer received an invoice for an amount that was incorrect, you will need to create a credit note and send to the customer.

A sales credit note is linked to a sales order. By creating a sales credit note based on a sales invoice, the sales credit note can be traced back to the sales order if the sales order number in the sales order is the same as the sales order number filled in the header and lines of the sales credit note.
