- Invoice Type = Credit Memo or Debit Memo

- Enter all quantities as positive amounts.
Note: If the entire invoice is being credited, each item must still be selected individually. - Print the Memo

In the event you have invoiced the entire sales order inadvertantly, creating a Credit Memo for this invoice will not 're-open' the original sales order. A new sales order will need to be entered
