Frequently Asked Questions

What is a credit note and debit note?

A credit note and debit note are documents used to record adjustments to an existing transaction. A credit note generally reduces an amount associated with an invoice, while a debit note records an additional amount or adjustment depending on the transaction and accounting workflow.

What is the difference between a credit note and a debit note?

A credit note usually reduces the value of an original invoice, while a debit note generally records an increase or another debit-side adjustment. The exact treatment depends on the transaction, accounting rules and applicable tax requirements.

When should a credit note or debit note be issued?

A credit note or debit note may be issued when an invoice requires a documented adjustment, such as a pricing correction, return, discount, quantity change or other approved amendment. The adjustment should remain linked to the original invoice for clear financial records.

Is a credit note the same as an invoice?

No. An invoice records an amount charged for goods or services, while a credit note adjusts or reduces an amount already invoiced. Credit notes should normally reference the related invoice so the original transaction and subsequent adjustment remain traceable.

What is an invoice adjustment?

An invoice adjustment is a documented change to an existing invoice or transaction record. It may involve a credit note, debit note, refund or other correction. A controlled workflow helps businesses preserve the original invoice while recording the reason, value and approval history of the adjustment.

Can AassureComply link credit notes and debit notes to original invoices?

Yes. AassureComply can connect credit notes, debit notes and related adjustments with the original invoice and customer record. This helps finance teams track the reason for each change, maintain approval history and preserve an audit trail.
