Credit Note Details

A credit note is a financial document that companies issue to indicate a reduction in the amount that needs to be paid whenever there is a purchase cancellation, problems with damaged goods, or an invoice mistake.

On the Credit notes history page, a customer can see up-to-date information about customer credit notes, including credit note number, order number and date, ship-to name, total and outstanding total, etc. A customer can see the Credit note details page by clicking View details on the Credit notes history page in the Sana webstore. A customer can also search for a specific credit note by its number or sales order number, and filter credit notes by date.

On the Credit note details system page in Sana Admin, you can see dummy data and you cannot see all information that is shown in the Sana webstore. The real information about credit notes is taken from the ERP system, that’s why the data shown on the Credit note details page can differ depending on your ERP system.

Below you can see an example of the Credit note details page.
