Record sales credit notes for when customers have returned goods or cancelled an order.
Credit notes can only be recorded for invoices with an outstanding balance.
You can’t create a credit note that is not linked to an invoice.
Once saved, the invoice will show as paid or part-paid depending on whether the whole amount was credited. The outstanding balance on the customers account is reduced.
