Sales credit note and delivery challan

Return 1058 views 3 replies

I have received four delivery challans from my customer for returned goods. Later, my customer issued a debit note aggregating the quantities from all four delivery challans, which were included in one tax invoice.

Should I generate a separate credit note for each delivery challan I receive, or should I issue a single credit note against the debit note? Which approach is considered good practice and GST-compliant?
