When to use this form
Use this form when you need to reduce or reverse a charge after an order was invoiced. It helps you document the issue, route it to finance, and get a credit posted fast. Common cases include a price error versus a quote, duplicate billing, tax exemption corrections, freight billed on a short shipment, or damaged items. If products are coming back, pair your request with an RMA Form so receiving can match the credit. For marketplace purchases, start with the Amazon order return form, then submit your request with the return reference. This keeps your account accurate, gives AP and AR a clear audit trail, and speeds approvals.
Must Ask Credit Memo Request Questions
- What is the original invoice or order number and date?
This ties your request to a specific transaction and speeds validation in the ledger. It also prevents credits from being applied to the wrong account.
- Why are you requesting a credit, and will any items be returned?
A clear reason code (pricing error, damaged goods, duplicate charge, tax fix) guides routing and approval rules. If items are returning, include your RMA or submit a Material return form so operations can reconcile inventory with the credit.
- Which items, SKUs, and quantities are affected?
Line-level detail helps us adjust the right products, taxes, and freight. It reduces follow-up and prevents over- or under-crediting.
- What amount should be credited, and how did you calculate it?
Breaking out price, tax, and shipping with your math speeds audit review. Attach proof such as a quote, contract, or email to support the numbers.
- How should we apply the credit (to an open invoice, account balance, or refund)?
Your preference determines the accounting entry and who needs to approve it. For cash-equivalent refunds like money orders, use the Money order refund request form instead.
