Credit Note: It is a note (not invoice) raised by seller against the purchaser.

It will be raised in following cases (examples):

1. where the Sales shown by the company is excess than what should have been shown;

2. Sales return;

3. After sales discounts, etc.

The amount of Credit note ensure reduction of Sales (Sales amount) in first two cases and in 3rd case it shown in discount (like cash discount for early receipts, etc.). This can be verified by checking whether the credit note raised is knocked off against the specific invoices.

Yes abhijeet is right,

Credit/ debit note is different from invoices..........

A credit note for company is debit note for the other company.......

Debit Note: - Issued against Purchase

Credit Note:- Issued by Purchase against sales Invoice
