How to make a debit note
- Enter the original invoice number and date.
- Pick the reason: price increased, extra quantity supplied, or a correction.
- Add only the difference. For example, one line for “Rate difference on INV-042” at the same GST rate.
- Set a due date if the customer should pay the extra amount by a certain day, then download or email it.
