Use-case checklist
What to include in a project scope reduction credit note
Scope reductions need the same documentation as additions. A credit note ties the removed work to the contract and original invoice while preserving the history of what was first authorized and billed.
- provider, client, project, and contract
- approved change or scope-reduction reference
- original invoice and removed work
- credit calculation and tax adjustment
- revised contract value, schedule, and application

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.
