A business issues a credit memo when it needs to reduce the amount a customer owes. This usually happens when theres been an overcharge, a product return, or a service issue. A business will use a debit memo when it needs to increase what a customer owes.
Is a credit memo a refund?
For instance, a buyer may purchase a product one day before its price is marked down 30 percent. The seller agrees to issue a credit memo for the difference between the price the buyer paid and the new sale price.
