Frequently asked questions
When do I use a price adjustment credit note?
When a price is agreed lower after the invoice is issued — a correction, a price match or a contract clause. You credit just the difference against the original invoice, keeping both documents intact.
How is this different from a discount credit note?
They overlap; a price adjustment is usually a corrected or contractual rate rather than a goodwill or promotional discount. The mechanics — credit the difference against the invoice — are the same.

What is a credit note and when do I issue one?
A credit note (or credit memo) is a document that cancels or reduces an amount on an invoice you already sent — for a return, cancellation, overcharge or post-invoice discount. It references the original invoice and is either applied against the buyer’s account or refunded.
