Credit memo

 

A credit memo is an accounting document that is issued in order to reduce a customer’s payables with a certain amount. A credit memo can be issued in case of incompatible invoicing of quantity or value of the actually delivered product. Thus, this document is issued in case if the invoiced quantity or value of items is larger than that of the actually delivered ones and it enables the customer to receive a discount in the amount specified on the received credit memo next time the customer finalizes a purchase transaction. 

This document can be also issued on the basis of previously agreed terms saying that after the purchase of goods for a speciftc value, the customer will be able to receive a discount in the form of a credit memo.
