Frequently asked questions
How do I pass on a material price rise?
If your contract has an escalation clause, issue a debit note referencing the contract and invoice for the escalation, stating the index or basis. It charges the agreed rise transparently.
What basis should I state?
Cite the clause and the index or supplier price movement it references, so the customer can see the rise is contractual, not arbitrary.

What is the difference between a debit note and a credit note?
A debit note increases the amount owed on an invoice already issued — for an undercharge, additional charges or interest. A credit note does the opposite: it reduces or cancels what is owed. Buyers also raise debit notes to notify a supplier of a return or a claim.
