WhatIsACreditNote
A credit note in a QuickBooks +1-855-999-0211 Imagine a business like a shop giving you a special note because: You returned something you bought. Something you received was broken or faulty. They accidentally charged you too much on the first bill. This special note is called a Credit Note (or Credit Memo): It is like a promise given by the shop that they owe you money and you can use that amount later to pay for something or get the money back. Here's the "unique" part: Think of it as a "negative move." It formally reduces or eliminates the previous bill without completely eliminating the original bill. It helps both you and the business know what happened, especially for writers and tax reasons.
