Topic
A credit note reduces what a customer owes on an issued invoice — for a return, an overcharge or a goodwill adjustment. WorkshopMax credits against the invoice rather than paying cash back.
Instructions
- 1Open the issued invoice you want to credit.
You can credit any invoice that's been issued (not a draft).
- 2Click Credit note.
Add the lines and amounts you're crediting.
- 3Save and review.
The credit note gets its own number and shows against the original invoice.
- 4If connected, it pushes to Xero.
The credit note is created in Xero and allocated against the invoice there too.
Additional Information
Raising a credit note adds an entry to the invoice's history so the adjustment is fully traceable.
WorkshopMax handles credit-against-invoice, not cash refunds — the credit reduces the outstanding balance.
