Creating Debit Notes
The debit note is a type of legal document, which can be issued by the company to provide support of corrections on the originally received nota fiscal. This document is not part of the fiscal books, and control of the amounts is done by the accounting department.
Note: This functionality is available from QAD 2013 Enterprise Edition.
Example: A supplier agrees to a unit price for a material. However, when the supplier issues the legal document, it contains a different unit price. In this case, it is standard practice to create a debit note for the supplier before receiving the legal document. Therefore, the supplier invoice is created for the original amount but a credit note is also created so the correct amount is paid to the supplier.
