An invoice you have issued stays in your numbering. To cancel it or change an amount, you issue a credit note that points to it. Alladdin fills it from the original and adjusts TVA, the client's balance and your books.
Use these as a guide. Your accountant can confirm how to treat a specific case.
| Situation | What you do in Alladdin |
|---|---|
| Wrong price, quantity or TVA rate on a sent invoice | Credit the lines that are wrong, then issue a corrected invoice if needed |
| The client returns goods | Credit the returned lines. Stock comes back when you record the return |
| A discount agreed after invoicing | Issue a partial credit note for the discount amount |
| The sale is cancelled | Credit the whole invoice. Its balance falls to zero |
| A draft that was never issued | No credit note needed. Edit or delete the draft |
Choose to create a credit note from it. Client, lines, prices and TVA are copied over.
Leave every line for a full credit, or remove and adjust lines for a partial one. Totals and TVA by rate recalculate as you go.
The credit note takes the next number in its series and is emailed to your client. The invoice, the client balance and the accounts update together.
Every credit note shows which invoice it corrects, and the invoice shows its credit notes. Nobody has to reconstruct what happened.
Continuous numbering
Credit notes have their own series, so invoice numbers have no gaps.
TVA reversed by rate
Collected TVA is reduced at the rate of each credited line.
Entries posted for you
The reversing entry is created in your books when you issue it.
Who did what
The record keeps who created the credit note and when.
A document that cancels all or part of an invoice you have already issued. It refers to the original invoice and carries its own number, so your invoice series stays intact.
Invoices must follow a continuous numbered series. Deleting an issued invoice leaves a gap and removes a document your client may already have recorded. A credit note keeps both documents and explains the change.
Yes. Keep only the lines or amounts you are crediting. TVA is recalculated for those lines.
The credit note leaves a balance in the client's favour. You can refund it or set it against their next invoice.
Yes. Sales, TVA collected and the client account are adjusted by the entry Alladdin creates when you issue the credit note.
Issue invoices and credit notes in the same place, with numbering your accountant can follow.
