Use-case checklist

What to include in a duplicate invoice credit note

Deleting a duplicate invoice can make correspondence and numbering hard to reconcile. A credit note clearly voids the duplicate amount while leaving the valid invoice intact.

  • customer and duplicate invoice number
  • valid invoice number
  • duplicate lines and tax being reversed
  • full credit amount
  • payment or refund status
