What is the Credit Note Generator?
The Credit Note Generator creates a printable credit note that refers to an earlier invoice. It lists the items being credited, splits the GST you type equally into CGST and SGST, shows the total credited and records the reason, such as returned goods or a price correction. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
- Enter the seller and buyer details and the credit note number.
- Type the original invoice number and the reason for the credit.
- Add one item per line as description | quantity | rate, with the GST percentage.
- Print the preview or save it as PDF and send it to the buyer.
Credit Note Generator — FAQ
When is a credit note issued?
A seller usually issues one to reduce the amount a buyer owes, for example after goods are returned, a price is corrected or a discount is agreed after invoicing.
Must it refer to the original invoice?
It normally should, so the tool has a field for the invoice number and prints it prominently. Check the current rules for what the note must contain.
Why are the amounts shown as positive numbers?
The document is titled Credit Note and the total is labelled Total credited, so positive figures show the amount being deducted from the buyer's account.
