A credit note (also called a credit memo) is a document issued by a seller to reduce the amount owed by a buyer. Common reasons include returned goods, billing errors, cancelled orders, or agreed discounts. InvoiceHub's credit note generator lets you create professional credit notes with a reference to the original invoice, issued items, and total credit amount.
Credit notes are important for maintaining accurate financial records and demonstrating professionalism in client relationships. Unlike a simple refund, a credit note creates a paper trail that's useful for accounting and tax purposes.
A credit note and a refund serve different purposes. A refund returns money directly to the customer. A credit note creates an accounting entry that can be applied against a future invoice or reduce the current balance owed. For B2B transactions, credit notes are the preferred approach because they maintain a clear paper trail without affecting cash flow immediately. Use our free invoice generator to create the original invoice, and this tool for any corrections needed afterward.
