Use-case checklist
What to include in a partial refund credit note
A partial refund needs a precise bridge between the original invoice and the amount returned. The credit note shows why only part, rather than all, of the charge changed.
- customer and original invoice
- affected item or service
- reason and agreed partial amount
- tax adjustment and total credit
- refund method, date, and remaining balance
Example starting lines

When this document is the right choice
Use this credit note to document a reduction or reversal against an issued invoice. A credit note changes the amount owed on an earlier invoice without deleting the original record. Reference the original invoice and state the exact reason for the adjustment.
