Debit Notes
Reduce what you owe a vendor after a return or a pricing correction.
Overview
A debit note is a vendor bill in the opposite direction. It keeps a link to the bill it corrects and posts the reverse entry, so the payable and the expense or stock are reduced.
Use it instead of editing a posted bill.
When to use debit notes
- You return goods to a supplier.
- A supplier charged the wrong price.
Step by step
