Issue Partial Credit
Allocate a negative balance change to an invoice line to adjust errors in unpaid or partially paid invoices. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
Required Editions
| Available in: All Salesforce Billing Editions |
The invoice you want to allocate the credit to must be in the Posted status.
Credit notes allow you to allocate a negative balance change to an invoice line, such as to adjust errors in unpaid or partially paid invoices. You can also provide credit to a user account and then allocate that credit to decrease the balance of their invoices at a later date. Credit notes also provide accurate and complete recordkeeping of the transactions that occur after an invoice has been posted.
Note You can allocate only posted credit notes.
