krediidivõte

Krediidivõte, also known as credit note or credit memo, is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer. It acknowledges a reduction in the amount owed by the buyer to the seller. This typically occurs when there has been a return of goods, an overcharge on an invoice, or a discount applied after the original invoice was issued. A krediidivõte details the reason for the credit and specifies the amount being credited. It acts as a correction or adjustment to a previously issued invoice.

The issuance of a krediidivõte is important for accurate accounting and record-keeping for both parties. For the buyer, it reduces their accounts payable, and for the seller, it reduces their accounts receivable. It can be used to offset a future purchase or, in some cases, result in a refund to the buyer. The document usually references the original invoice number to ensure clear linkage between the transactions. Proper documentation of krediidivõtted is essential for financial audits and maintaining consistent business relationships. It ensures that both the seller and buyer have a clear understanding of outstanding balances and any adjustments made.
