Use-case checklist
What to include in a shipping overcharge credit note
Shipping corrections are easier to reconcile when the credit note names the shipment, carrier charge, agreed freight term, invoiced amount, correct amount, and difference. A vague credit forces the buyer to search across orders and tracking records.
- seller, buyer, order, shipment, and tracking reference
- original invoice and freight line
- agreed versus billed shipping amount
- reason and credit calculation
- tax adjustment, total credit, and application
Example starting lines
| Description | Qty | Rate |

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.
