Debit Note functionality plays an essential role in adjusting transactions where returns, discounts, or corrections are required.
A debit note (also known as debit memo) can be issued from a buyer/ purchaser to their seller to indicate or request to return the funds due to incorrect or damaged goods received, purchase cancellation, or other specified circumstances.
Some common scenarios when to issue a debit note:
- Goods received are damaged or defective
- The purchaser has been overcharged
- The invoice value is incorrect (due to extra goods being delivered, or goods are charged at a lesser value, etc.)
- When a discount needs to be adjusted post-purchase.
For example, if a business purchases 100 units of a product and finds that 10 units are damaged, the buyer can issue a debit note to the supplier to adjust the payment accordingly.
