How to create debit note in Wafeq

A debit note or discount notice is a financial document used to document circumstances that require a discount or adjustment to the amount due for payment (reduction of Account Payable). Generally, it is typically issued by the seller (supplier) to the buyer as a Credit Note to clarify the specific discount or change in the original bill. The buyer will record it in their system as a Debit Note.

It can be used by the buyer when there is an error in the original supplier invoice (bill), such as including excess goods than ordered or a wrong estimation of the quantity or price. It can also be used when the goods delivered are defective or damaged, or when goods are returned. A debit note offers a clear and accurate record of transactions and financial adjustments in all these cases.
