Issue a credit note
===================
You can create a credit note from scratch by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers -->
Credit Notes`, and by clicking on :guilabel:`Create`. Filling out a credit note form works the same
way as an invoice form.
To create a credit note from scratch, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Credit
Notes`, and click :guilabel:`New`. Filling out a credit note is the same process as completing an
:ref:`invoice <accounting/invoice/creation>`.
However, most of the time, credit notes are generated directly from the related invoices. To do so,
go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Invoices`, open the related **customer invoice**,
In most cases, credit notes are created directly from the corresponding invoices. To do so,
go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Invoices`, open the relevant :guilabel:`Invoice`,
and click on :guilabel:`Credit Note`.
You can choose between three options:
In the :guilabel:`Credit Note` window, fill in the :guilabel:`Reason displayed on Credit Note`.
Update the :guilabel:`Journal` and :guilabel:`Reversal date` if needed.
There are two options:
- :guilabel:`Partial Refund`
- :guilabel:`Full Refund`
- :guilabel:`Full refund and new draft invoice`
- Click :guilabel:`Reverse`: Odoo opens a draft credit note prefilled with the exact details from
the original invoice. Update :guilabel:`Product` and :guilabel:`Quantity` and click
:guilabel:`Confirm`. This option enables a partial refund or modification of any details in the
credit note.
- Click :guilabel:`Reverse and Create invoice`: Odoo creates a credit note, automatically validates
it, reconciles it with the related invoice, and opens a new draft invoice prefilled with the exact
details from the original invoice.
.. note::
A credit note sequence starts with `R` and is followed by the number of the related document
(e.g., RINV/2019/0004 is related to the invoice INV/2019/0004).
Partial refund
--------------
When selecting the :guilabel:`Partial Refund` option, Odoo creates a draft credit note already
prefilled with all the necessary information from the original invoice. This is the option to choose
if you wish to do a partial refund or if you want to modify any detail of the credit note.
.. note::
This is the only option for invoices marked as *in payment* or *paid*.
Full refund
-----------
When selecting the :guilabel:`Full Refund` option, Odoo creates a credit note, automatically
validates it, and reconciles it with the related invoice.
.. image:: credit_notes/credit_notes02.png
:alt: Full refund credit note.
This is the option to choose for a full refund or to **cancel** a *validated* invoice.
Full refund and new draft invoice
---------------------------------
When selecting the :guilabel:`Full refund and new draft invoice` option, Odoo creates a credit note,
automatically validates it, reconciles it with the related invoice, and opens a new draft invoice
prefilled with the same details from the original invoice.
This is the option to **modify** the content of a *validated* invoice.
A credit note sequence starts with `R` and is followed by the related document number (e.g.,
RINV/2025/0004 is associated with the invoice INV/2025/0004).
