A credit note allows you to reduce the amount owed on an invoice without deleting or editing the original line items. Credit notes are useful when:
  • You want to offer a discount after an invoice has already been issued.
  • A client has partially paid (e.g., paid 1,000/1,000 / 1,300 invoice) and you want to waive the remaining $300.
  • You need to correct an error on the invoice without altering the original record.
