Check before you download

Enter the amount being credited, not the entire original invoice unless that whole amount is being reversed.
The optional original-total check does not know about previous credit notes. Check the remaining invoice amount in your own records.
The PDF does not confirm a cash refund, update a ledger, register an e-invoice or amend a tax return. Keep the credit and any settlement evidence together.

Common questions

Can I create a debit note with this tool?

This tool creates credit notes only. Use it for a supplier credit against the identified invoice; it does not offer a debit-note mode.

Should I enter a negative amount?

No. Enter the positive quantity and value being credited. The document identifies the total as a credit amount rather than treating it as a new charge.

Does a credit note mean the customer was refunded?

No. A credit note records an adjustment. A refund, future-invoice adjustment or other settlement needs its own record.
