In Stax Bill, a credit note is generated whenever a charge is reversed on an invoice. Multiple credit notes are created for the invoice if multiple charges are reversed. A credit note is always associated with an existing invoice.
Each credit note is uniquely numbered and contains the following details:
-
customer contact information and shipping address
-
a description of the charge and the net amount being reversed
-
any associated taxes and discounts also being reversed
-
the associated invoice number and posted date
-
the total credit note amount
Credit notes can be downloaded in PDF format for distribution if required.
Tip
Credit notes follow the number format
[associated invoice number]-CR-[number of the credit note if there is more than one, otherwise 1]
for example, "100936-CR-4".
