How the Credit Note Affects Related Documents and Budgets

• Credits increase the available budget amount from an initial Invoice.
• Payment will be added to the initial Invoice if the unpaid amount is equal to or exceeds the credit.
• If your initial Invoice is fully paid, the credits will be added to the supplier’s credit balance, and you will be able to pay another Invoice using the credit.
• If your initial Invoice is partially paid, the credits will be split between the initial Invoice and the supplier’s credit balance.

How to Pay an Invoice with Supplier’s Credits

If you have a credit balance for a specific supplier, you will be able to pay the Invoice with it.

 

How to Cancel a Credit Note

 

You can cancel a Credit Note if there are no payments to be made with credit. Even if there are some credit payments, you can cancel them and cancel the Credit Note.
