Introduction

This article covers how to create a Customer Credit Note, which is issued to your customer informing them of a reduction in the amount that your customer owes you.

A credit note is usually issued because of an error in a previously issued invoice. A Customer Credit Note usually states the reason it’s being issued for and references the invoice that it offsets.
