Issue the document as the buyer — supplier details, what you received and the agreed price — under a self-billing agreement.

In self-billing, the customer — not the supplier — issues the document that settles the supply: a manufacturer paying a contract grower, a publisher paying royalties, a platform paying its sellers, a scrap dealer paying for metal. In Germany this is the classic «Gutschrift» under §14(2) UStG; the UK, EU and many other countries allow it when both sides have agreed in writing.
This template opens with a line for the goods or services received. Enter the supplier as the seller, add the agreed prices, the supplier’s tax number and the self-billing reference, and download a PDF to send them.
Note: Issued by the buyer under a self-billing agreement · supplier may object within the agreed period
A document the buyer issues instead of waiting for the supplier’s invoice. It carries the same details an invoice would — both parties, the supply, the price and the tax — and it counts as the supplier’s invoice once both sides have agreed to self-billing.
No. A normal credit note reduces an invoice already issued. A self-billing document creates the bill in the first place. In Germany both are called «Gutschrift», which is why the document should say clearly which one it is.

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.
A credit note cancels or reduces an invoice you already sent. The Invoices Tracker keeps your invoices, credit notes and what each client still owes together — so your books always reconcile.
