Frequently asked questions

What's a credit note for?

It's the document you send to reduce or cancel a previously issued invoice. The buyer uses it to balance their books against the original invoice.

Should the amounts be negative?

Enter positive amounts. A credit note documents the value being credited, not a subtraction, and your accountant will book it against the original invoice on their side.

Can I reference the original invoice number?

Yes. Put the original invoice number in the Notes field so the relationship is clear in the PDF.

Can I add my logo?

Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG on the Style tab and place it left or right.
