ERPNext Accounting
What is Debit Note?
- Debit Note
- A Debit Note in ERPNext is issued when returning goods to a supplier or disputing an overcharge, reducing the amount owed to that supplier.
Creating a Debit Note
Go to Buying → Purchase Invoice → New, enable "Is Return", and link the original Purchase Invoice. ERPNext reverses quantities and amounts. On submission, it debits the supplier payable and credits the expense or stock account.
Using Debit Notes for Price Disputes
When a supplier overcharges, a Debit Note reduces the AP balance without a physical return. Attach the supporting correspondence to the document. The supplier's ledger in ERPNext reflects the reduced balance immediately.
