Credit note

A credit note is like a reverse invoice or a refund; something to cancel out an invoice you have issued in the past. It may be for the full amount of an invoice or it may be for less in the case of a partial refund.

Credit notes have always positive amounts in Quaderno. An invoice is always a negative amount, e.g. charging someone $50 for a fine pair of hand-crafted shoes that means they must pay you $50 (-$50 from their account).

A credit note is therefore always positive because you are returning money to your customer. In the case of the lovely shoes, this would mean that their account is now +$50, and you are plus one mighty fine pair of artisanal loafers that perhaps you wanted to keep anyway.
