Debit notes

A debit note is a document that a company issues to adjust a supplier's balance and record a reduction in the company's accounts payable. This applies, for example, when purchased goods are returned to the supplier.

A debit note is used in the following processes:

Process	Document purpose
Procure-to-pay	Apply a discount to an invoice received from a supplier. To do this, create a debit note with the Discount received operation. Adjust a supplier's balance for a reason other than goods return or discount received. For example, record compensation for delayed goods delivery. To do this, create a debit note with the Accounts payable adjustments operation.
Goods return to supplier	Adjust a supplier's balance due to goods return. To do this, create a debit note with the Purchase return operation. A debit note can also record the fact of goods return from a company's warehouse. This applies if the Debit note document posts all entries, including inventory option is selected in the company's accounting policy.
Drop shipped goods return	Adjust the supplier's balance and record the return of drop shipped goods to the supplier's warehouse. To do this, create a debit note with the Drop shipping operation. This applies if the Use drop shipping checkbox is selected in Settings > Sales and the Debit note document posts all entries, including inventory option is selected in the company's accounting policy.
