credit notes
Merchant repayment vouchers
Credit notes are documents issued by a seller to a buyer, reducing the amount owed on a previous invoice.
They typically arise from returned goods, overcharges, or agreed price adjustments.
A credit note offsets future purchases or triggers a refund: We issued a credit note for the damaged shipment.
In accounting, they're formal records of the reduction.
