Credit Memos and Reversals Receive a credit memo from a vendor if you were overcharged

A credit memo can be entered with reference to a purchase order or a goods receipt.

You can also post a credit memo without reference to a PO.

Account movements when you post a credit memo are made according to the same rules as when you post an invoice. The same accounts are posted, but with the opposite +/- sign.

If you entered an invoice incorrectly and posted it despite the error, the invoice can subsequently be reversed.
