About this credit note generator
A credit note reduces or cancels the amount on an earlier invoice, for example after a return, a pricing error or a discount agreed later. It keeps your records accurate without editing a sent invoice.
Tips
- Reference the original invoice number and date.
- State the reason for the credit.
- Use a separate sequential number such as CN-0001.
Example
Invoice INV-0120 for 1,000 included a 100 pricing error; credit note CN-0007 for 100 references the original and lowers the balance.
Common mistakes
Editing the original invoice instead of issuing a separate, numbered credit note.
FAQ
When should I issue a credit note instead of a new invoice?
Issue a credit note whenever you need to reduce or cancel an invoice you have already sent, so the original stays on record.
